PACKAGES
PACKAGES - Please read BEFORE sending.
The mission sent us this information for packages:
Please use the following address format to send packages to your missionary in Hungary. Do not include the mission office name in the address because that causes the packages to automatically go to the main customs office for an assessment of customs fees to be charged since the post office thinks the mission office is a business.

We recommend that if you are sending new items such as shirts, CDs, or any electronic items, you remove the original packing and any indication of price to avoid the receiving missionary having to spend time in the main customs office trying to recover the presents.
Please remember almost every box that enters Hungary will be opened and inspected by the customs officers who work in the post offices so please do not try to send personal correspondence in boxes shipped at discount rates.

Doug"s Missionary Commission
“I am called of God. My authority is above that of the Kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is my master, and He has chosen me to represent Him – to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me.
My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my words are his words, and my doctrine is His doctrine.
My commission is to do what He wants done; to say what he wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of His great and marvelous Latter-day work.
How great is my calling.”
