No Time to Write

Elder Chang stopped writing home several months into his mission and his mom got mad.

Because missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints only have one day a week (preparation day or P-day) to do laundry, shop for supplies, and write letters, Elder Chang has found it more convenient to record audio letters to friends and family as he goes about his P-day in the great city of New York.

This is not an official production of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The opinions expressed are Elder Chang's only and if you have any doctrinal questions, please refer to the official church website.
