First Group of Romania Missionaries - Budapest, Hungary

Dear Parents of our newly arrived Missionaries serving in the Hungary / Romania Mission:

President and Sister Rucker asked that I write to let you know that your missionary arrived safely in Budapest!  What a wonderful group of young people and such an addition to our missionaries serving here!  We are so excited that everything worked out allowing them to join us in the mission!  The missionaries are being quarantined in two separate apartments in Pest for the next two weeks.  We stocked the cupboards with food, menus and recipes.  President and Sister Rucker have warmly greeted them at the airport and have spent time with them in Zoom Calls during the past few days.  All missionaries are in great spirits!!  The Assistants have organized a very proactive training experiences on Zoom for the next two weeks.  They will be busy during their quarantine experience!   They are located about 10 minutes from the Mission Home and will have contact through technology for a good portion of their day!  We are so grateful for each of them coming to the Hungary Romania Mission and we look forward to getting to know them!  Thank you for your help in preparing them to come.

NOTE:  Keep the listed cost of items in a package under $100.00 USD value.  If it is over this amount the package generally goes through customs which adds expensive costs to your missionary.  At present we are not able to transport any packages to Romania.  All packages arriving in the mission office for missionaries serving in Romania to missionaries there will be kept, possibly for many months, until they can be delivered.  For that reason please do not send any perishable items.   Also, for help in transporting packages , whenever possible, please use mailing envelopes instead of boxes.  (We list Elder Mortensen's name on packages and letters so that we can legally receive them in the Mission Office.)


Please enjoy the attached photos of your missionary!!  If there is anything that I can do for you from here please let me know. 


Most sincerely,

Sister Diana Mortensen
