What is Missionary Memories™ and how does it work?

If you are recently called, simply create an account with Missionary Memories, set up a Missionary Memories email address and start forwarding your emails. You will be able to build your book as you serve.


If you are currently serving, create an account with Missionary Memories, use the Import Wizard to gather your emails, then set up a Missionary Memories email address to continue building your book as you serve. For returned missionaries, create an account then use the Import Wizard to gather your emails and photos.

List of Questions

For returned missionary emails, use the import wizard in Missionary Memories™. The process is intuitive, easy and fast.

To import emails, you will need to provide your user name and password. Missionary Memories™ does not store any login information for your external accounts. We recommend changing your password before importing emails and changing it back after. The import process is usually complete within 15 minutes.

You can also add content one email at a time by copy and paste. This method takes longer. The email text is relatively quick to copy and paste; pictures take more time to save on your computer or flash drive and upload.

Missionary Memories does not import emails directly from MyLDSMail. After a mission, MyLDSMail provides a method to transfer email from the MyLDSMail account to a personal email account. Once the emails have been transferred, they can be imported into Missionary Memories.

Soon after the conclusion of a mission, the MyLDSMail account will be deactivated. At log in, instructions will appear on-screen to transfer emails from your MyLDSMail account to a personal email account.

Missionary Memories™ retrieves emails from any folder in your email account. You can import email from multiple accounts (e.g. mom and dad), one account at a time. If you have additional email to include in your Missionary Memories™ book, use the “New email” function to copy and paste.

The messages are sorted chronologically and printed by date.

The process of creating your Missionary Memories™ book is automated, which means only you are involved in the creation of your book. If you need assistance, a customer service agent may access your account with your permission.

Currently Missionary Memories™ works with email. In the future we will capture other methods of Missionary communication.

Missionary Memories™ creates books from email. Use the “New Email” function to copy and paste email into Missionary Memories™. Missionary Memories™ cannot create a book directly from a word processing file.

Missionary Memories™ website and system are in English. Latin based languages are supported while creating a book. Missionary Memories™ will add other languages over time. Send us a message if you want us to hurry it up.

At any time during the creation of your book, you can preview by date or preview your entire book. Before you “PRINT” your book, you will be asked to review and approve the final version. You will then enter your shipping address and payment information, before your book is sent the printer for publication.

We print books up to 300 pages.

Split it into two books, or edit it to be within the 300 page maximum.

Missionary Memories™ provides free storage for your email and pictures in your account for a year after publishing a book. An extended storage policy is being developed.

To keep your price low, Missionary Memories™ batches print jobs to send to the printer. Depending on volume, this may be between two and ten working days. Printing the book takes between six and ten days. Delivery takes from three to five days. Average delivery is approximately 20 days after submitting the book for publishing. If you ordered an e-book, you will be able to download it after completing your order.
