Elder Crandall has arrived safely in Japan!!  We are very blessed to have a good family friend, David Tarr, working in Japan and he was able to be at the airport when Christopher landed and took some great pictures for us!


David and Christopher

When they were done at the airport Elder Crandall and the group of missionaries that came with him from the MTC all headed to the mission home for a good night's rest.

He is serving in his first area, Kohoku, Yokohama and is excited to begin the work.  He had a little glitch buying his bicycle, but all is well.  We will hear all about his first week in Japan next week!  Stay tuned!!

Information about sending mail to Elder Christopher Ronald Crandall:

All letters and packages should be sent to the Mission Home.

v   The only packages that can be forwarded to missionaries are those sent through the POST OFFICE of your home nation.
v   PLEASE DO NOT SEND PACKAGES BY FEDEX, DSL, OR UPS – they do not forward packages for us like the Post Office does.  The mission then has to pay to send it to the missionaries.
v   Please include your missionary’s first and middle names because we often have missionaries with the same first and last names.
v   Please do not send large boxes. Mail is delivered on motorcycles here– they do not have room for large boxes. The mission has to pay the charges to have them shipped by another shipper or try to get them to a zone conference. That means your missionary has to carry the large box on the train to his or her apartment. The Post Office of your country has smaller mailing packages you can use. You can send a few of these instead of one big box.

Please use the following address for mail to your missionary. They all love receiving letters from home. Again, we would like to ask you to always put the first and middle name of your missionary on the envelopes as we have several missionaries who share the same last name.  Please let your family and friends know to do this, too.
