Sister Missionary Packing List for the Argentina Tucumán Mission
We recently sent out two missionaries and a lot of people have asked us what stuff we sent with our son and daughter.
Packing a missionary to serve a two year or eighteen-month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be a little overwhelming especially if you wait until right before they leave. Sometimes missionaries from our church are referred to as a Mormon missionary or a LDS missionary.
This packing list includes items our two missionaries took and used on their missions based on what they heard from other missionaries who served or are currently serving in their missions or other related missions. It was also influenced by some advice from their friends and acquaintances who recently returned home from serving missions. This item list is specific to a sister missionary serving in the Argentina Tucumán mission, but also has some items our elder missionary also took to the Brazil Rio de Janeiro South mission.
The list has the normal things found on the missionary packing list like clothing, shoes, dresses, white shirts, belts, rain boots, luggage, bug spray, etc. It also has some other items like power adapters, small pillow, phone charger, MicroSD cards, water bottle w/ filter, itch sticks, curling iron, hair dryer, hair straightener, home MTC banner, vacuum storage bags, waterproof spray, bar soap shampoo, luggage tracking tiles, small blanket, etc. A few of the things on this packing list like power adapters, etc. will be specific to Argentina.
Also, for Elder missionaries I have this packing list for my son who recently returned from the Brazil Rio de Janeiro South mission.
