Missionaries can now email family AND friends!

As of April 16, 2013 Missionaries are now allowed to e-mail friends as well as family from their mission.

Missionaries across the world are now able to communicate more easily with their families and friends due to a change in policy by The Church Missionary Department.
According to a statement made by Scott Trotter, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Missionaries write to their families each week and can also communicate by email with friends, priesthood leaders and new converts. While in the mission field, missionaries should get permission from the mission president before communicating with converts and others of the opposite gender within the mission.”
Previous rules in the Missionary Handbook stated that missionaries were only able to “communicate with (their) family and mission president by email, according to approved guidelines.”

This is great news for an easy quick note when you think of our missionaries.  Please send email addresses of our missionaries that you have and I will email them out to everyone rather than posting them live on the blog.  And...of course, senior missionaries can email whenever they want, and call, and go to dinner, and take field trips, and, and, and, :)
