Letters & packages
Import duties and customs delays are common here. Many parents send small padded envelopes or use the pouch/letter options from the call packet; declare low values honestly and avoid sending valuables.
- Your missionary can email weekly on P-day; letters and packages are optional extras.
- Confirm the current mailing address with the mission office or the call packet before sending — offices move.
- Small, padded envelopes usually travel faster and cheaper than boxes; declare contents honestly and avoid restricted items.
- Mail-by dates for holidays and a calendar reminder are in the interactive guide.

Language
Portuguese
Portuguese has nasal vowels (ão, em, im) and many vowel sounds. Brazilian Portuguese is more open and sing-song; European/African Portuguese swallows unstressed vowels. "Você" is the common "you" in Brazil; "o senhor / a senhora" is respectful.
Assignments can include other languages; your call letter states your language.
