We are grateful for the arrival of your son in the India Bangalore Mission. He arrived safe and in good spirits. We have great need for him as a missionary.
Elder Magnusson has been assigned to work in the city of Rajahmundry. He will be serving with Elder Conrad From the U.S.
Many parents have asked about sending packages to their missionaries. Postage is expensive for those sending from outside India and custom charges are often assessed. We recommend that for birthdays and holidays that you put money in their personal account to save on customs charges and risk of damage. If you send a package, especially from outside India, it should be sent to the mission office. THE FIRST LINE OF THE ADDRESS MUST READ -- “Indian Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,” This is for customs purposes. The missionaries name should be written elsewhere on the package. Please keep in mind that most of our transfers are done by air travel. The local airlines have a 15 kg (about 33 lbs.) weight limit. Missionaries struggle to keep within that limit so they transfer very light and discard items not necessary.
The mission office address is as follows:
The Indian Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
No. 2, Rear Building
Garudarcharpalya, Mahadevapura Post,
Opp. ABB Tech Park
Whitefield Road, Karnataka
Bangalore 560048
India
Thank you for your help in your son's preparation and your support of him as he serves. The people of India are so grateful for the truth and knowledge the missionaries share. I know he will come to love the people with a deep love. He is a great young man and we were grateful as he shared his testimony with us. He expressed his excitement to learn new things and then be able to compare how he is now and how he will be at the end of his mission.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
