Mailing Information



A post office has finally opened in Luanda, and the “Angola Luanda Mission” has opened a post office box. Now our missionaries can send and receive regular letters. To send a letter use the following address:


Elder Keegan Brown
Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos S.U.D.
Caixa Postal 18404
Luanda, Angola


It currently costs $1.05 to send a letter from the United States to Angola. However, it will cost about $3 (US) to send a normal letter from Angola to the U.S. It should arrive in less than 2 weeks in either direction. The missionaries are starting to receive mail and they are extremely happy!


If you want to send a package via the US Post Office please follow these instructions exactly:


If the package weighs less than 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.) it will arrive at the Post Office where we have a post office box with no problems. If the package is over 2.2 lbs it must be sent “Express” so that it will be delivered to our Post Office.


If you send a package please DO NOT put the missionaries name in the address. This will make it very difficult for us to claim the package unless the recipient missionary actually goes to the Post Office. PLEASE NOTE: If you are sending a package put the missionaries name at the beginning of the return address. Then we will know who it is for. For example, the package should be addressed as follows:


Elder Brown
Brown Family
123 Elm Street
SLC, UT 12345
                                    Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos S.U.D.
                                    Caixa Postal 18404
                                    Luanda, Angola


We have received “Express Mail” packages. In order for us to pick up “Express Mail” packages, the post office is requiring the tracking number as well as a list of the contents with their values. Without these two things we cannot get the package! Please email these two things as soon as you send the package to angolamissionoffice@gmail.com
