Some of the sites in Southern Chile . . .

In our travels throughout the mission, we have seen some beautiful sights. Southern Chile is truly an incredible part of the world. Below are a couple of pictures we've taken:

The town of Villarrica and the Villarrica Volcano

Missionary Mail to Chile

For parents wanting to mail letters and packages to their missionaries serving in our mission, the correct address is:

Elder/Sister . . . .

Chile Osorno Mission

Casilla 7-0

Osorno, CHILE

Mail is fairly reliable in Chile and once the mail comes into the office, we send it out to the zone where your missionary is serving.

If sending a package, do NOT use Fed-Ex, UPS or DHL unless you want to incur the additional fee in Chile to get it from their local contractor. The best way to send packages is the US Mail Priority Mail Box. Your package should arrive safely in 2-3 weeks. During holidays there can be some delays, but as noted above, we have had very few problems.

One additional suggestion: if your missionary has a Latin companion, please consider including something for him or her. These missionaries seldom receive packages and letters and your kindness will be greatly appreciated.
