Keep every missionary letter in one private archive

Pday Letters collects the letters missionaries send home, keeps their photos alongside them, and makes the archive searchable and privately shareable with family and friends. The online archive is free.

P‑day

\ ˈpē‑ˌdā \ /ˈpiː ˌdeɪ/ also Pday, P Day · short for preparation day

  1. noun Among the full-time missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: the one day each week set aside for laundry, shopping, sightseeing, and writing a letter home. Usually Monday.

    “We’ll hear from our missionary again on his next P‑day.”

  2. adjective of or belonging to that day.

    “Her P‑day letter came in this morning.”

How it works

You can set up an archive before a missionary leaves or after they are already serving in the mission field.

  1. Forward one letter as an attachment to post@pdayletters.com.
  2. Follow the link in our reply and sign in to create the archive.
  3. Ask the missionary to include post@pdayletters.com on the To, Cc, or Bcc line of future letters.

From then on, letters and attached photos are filed automatically. You can forward older letters at any time, and archive owners can add pictures from their device or Google Photos.

Reading an archive

Archives are not public and are not listed anywhere. If someone has invited you to one, click the link in the email that was sent to you and sign in with a Microsoft or Google account to view it.

As new letters arrive, we can also email you periodically to notify you of new activity. Choose how often you’d like to receive these emails (requires login).

After your missionary returns home, you can purchase a printed hardcover book containing the letters and photos collected in the archive.

Cost

These missionary archives are free to set up and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs. The only optional purchase is a printed hardcover book containing the letters and photos from the archive. This site was created and is maintained as a labor of love by a father of a missionary.
