This microfiber towel was designed with elders and sisters in mind. Luxuriously soft and incredibly durable, it will make life easier for your missionary!

The cute blue case carries a reminder of the Lord’s call to His missionaries, and it carries every accessory you need to look and feel your best. The intuitive design includes a deep zipper pocket, a button-down band for rings, earring holes behind a protective flap, a detachable inner zipper case, and a wrap-around magnetic clasp to hold it all together.

Missionary pins

A sweet and meaningful gift for any missionary. Give one to them and keep one for yourself. This sun mountain pin set comes carded with a "Go Be Great" message meant to inspire and bring assurance to them knowing that you will be praying for them until they are done. Made of hard enamel and silver or gold toned metal with a rubber clasp.

“Let Your Light So Shine” notebook

The design for this 6” x 8” spiral-bound notebook was inspired by the reality that the Savior’s light is always shining like the sun, from clear skies to thick forests, touching as many hearts as are willing to receive it. Whether we’re sharing our talents and insights or simply reflecting on His daily goodness, we can be forces for good in this world.
