Missionary service changes lives. It changes the life of the missionary, and it changes the lives of the family members who love them. Whether you’re preparing to say goodbye, adjusting to weekly communication, or simply trying to navigate the emotions that come with missionary service, you’re not alone. Missionary Family Corner was created to encourage, strengthen, and support you every step of the way.
When a missionary leaves home, the whole family begins a new journey. There are joyful days and difficult days, proud moments and quiet moments, tears and laughter. Sometimes there is what many missionary parents lovingly call “miserable joy.” We hope you’ll find encouragement here for all of it.
