Always Create From The Heart
Throughout the world an army of faithful young men and women are helping fulfill the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith, who foresaw a day when “the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country.”
How to get started & Missionary Box Moms Hints:
If you know other mothers in your area – close friends, or family members that also have missionaries serving during at least part of the time as your missionary – it is so fun to start a ‘Missionary Box Mom’ group! We limited our group to 8 ‘Moms’ due to the fact that after we each put in 3 or 4 items per theme our boxes were really full.
Our group of ‘Box Mom’s’ met approximately every two months even though most of us sent boxes in between on our own. It was an amazing and unexpected bonus for all of us as we thought about and loved and prayed for missionaries other than our own how much joy and comfort it brought us. It truly made the days turn into weeks turn into months before we knew it! What a joyous occasion it was as some of our missionaries started coming home!!! (Honestly for us, doing this Box Mom Group, may have been more beneficial for the moms rather than the missionaries! But from the pictures our kids sent home – I think they LOVED the Boxes too!)
If you know you will be sending your Missionary a few boxes in the coming months – pick out your ‘Themes’ ahead of time and shop for more than one box at a time. You will be so surprised at what you can find on clearance as you make your way thru your regular shopping chores. Don’t forget to check out your local Dollar Store, Farm Store, Thrift Store, and One of a Kind Stores – they can be your biggest treasure troves! Some of our box items were found in the oddest most unlikely places – and they really made us giggle!

Shipping
There are many ways to mail boxes – but don’t forget to check the restrictions of items that cannot be mailed to certain countries if your missionary is serving outside the United States. So much love goes into sending any Box to your Missionaries ~ and it is heartbreaking when they get stuck in Customs ~ so double check before you send something! We used either the U.S.P. S. or My Missionary Shipping.
Remember to always Have Faith & Have Fun! We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Send love and support to missionaries around the world!
