What is the pouch mail program?
The Church has established the Pouch Mail program to help families to communicate better
with their missionaries in countries with poor mail systems.
When you mail your letters to the Pouch Mail Department in Salt Lake City, the Church places all the letters bound for one mission in a big package and ships
them to the mission through an express carrier service.
When the letters arrive at the mission office in the destination country, the office Elders
open the package of letters and distribute them to the Elders and Sisters throughout the mission.
How does DearElder.com work with the pouch mail department to get letters to the missionaries?
The Pouch Department only sends one package per week to each mission.
The deadline on the DearElder website to submit a pouch letter is 12 midnight (MST) on Sundays, which is technically
12am on Monday morning. We print, process, and deliver your letters to the Pouch Mail center in Salt Lake by 9am on Monday.
The letters are sorted by mission and mailed out on Tuesdays.
We are aware of all the pouch mail regulations, including no envelopes, tri-folding, tabbing closed, etc.
We follow all the pouch mail regulations, as outlined by the LDS Church.
DearElder.com is fully compliant with the USPS Private Express Statutes. Property postage is applied to all mail delivered to
the Pouch Mail Department.
What advantages are there to using DearElder.com to write a missionary?
There are a number of advantages to using DearElder.com to write your missionary.
Your letters will always arrive to your missionary as fast and usually faster than if you were to mail your
letters to the Pouch Mail Department. This especially applies to those who live outside
Utah and have a 2-6 day delay in their mail to Salt Lake.
DearElder.com makes writing your missionary much more convenient. It is much easier
for most people to sit down and type out a letter--and simply hit send--than it is to write the
letter by hand, stick it in an envelope, search for a stamp, and try to run it to the mail
box or post office.
Your missionary will actually be able to read what you wrote. --Joke
DearElder.com makes communication much easier for busy people and younger siblings who find it
more difficult to stay in touch with a missionary.
It makes communicating much easier for those who travel a lot.
It's free, saving you time and money... You can't beat that!
