This is Sister Lamberte (old companion) and I at the opening of the Underground River. You'll have to wait till I get home to see the rest of the pictures. Sorry about it.

Send a Letter

Sister Ashley Nicole Mecham

Philippines Manila Mission

Provo Missionary Training Center

2005 N 900 E

Provo, UT, 84604

United States

Sister Mecham will be in the MTC until February 25th. After that, her address will be:

However, it is cheaper to mail things via the Church Pouch Mail Service. You can mail things to them for the cost of regular postage instead of international. You may only send postcards or letters on a single piece of paper that is folded into three panels and taped at the top (no envelopes).

Sister Mecham's pouch address is:

Sister Ashley Nicole Mecham

Philippines Manila Mission

P.O. Box 30150

Salt Lake City, UT, 84130

Send a Package

Use the same PO Box mailing address as above.

However, every package entering the Philippines through the US Mail system and other carriers is inspected and randomly opened to verify values and contents.

The value of the contents, as stated by the shipper, is added to the postage costs you paid when you sent the package in the mail. These two values added together establish the baseline for the Custom Fees and Taxes that will be paid by the missionary.

These fees are deducted from the missionaries monthly support money.

Recommendation:

Ship small parcels more frequently. Parcels having a total value of less than $48.00 are exempt from duty fees. Remember the total value is the estimated value stated by the shipper plus the cost to mail the parcel. If two parcels are received at the same time even though shipped separately, they will be combined.
