The LDS Missionary and the Digital Camera

A picture is worth a thousand words.

A small, inexpensive digital camera is a great gift for a missionary who is preparing to serve their LDS mission. We bought a camera from Office Depot because I had a great coupon, but there are a lot of options on the market. We also bought two memory cards and some small mailers so when our missionary filled up one disk, he could mail it home to us. Then we loaded the pictures on to our computer and sent back the empty disk so that he could reuse it after he filled the second one. While there are mailing expenses, it cuts down on the time and expense a missionary would have to spend getting their pictures developed while out in the mission field. It also allowed us to attach his pictures to e-mails and notes we have sent to friends and family members.

There is an inexpensive way to get pictures developed while at the MTC so make sure your missionary has or has access to envelopes and stamps so they can send their pictures home to you.
