If you've had a missionary in the field, you know the scene.

It's Monday afternoon. Your missionary sent their P-Day letter. Your phone buzzes: Mom forwarded it to you. Then Aunt Susan replies-all: "So proud of Elder Jones!" Then Uncle Dave: "Looks like hard work!" Then seventeen more "reply-all" notifications in your group text.

Meanwhile, Grandma in Idaho? She's still waiting. Someone forgot to forward it. Again.

And somewhere in the Philippines, your missionary has no idea their letter sparked a 47-message thread where nobody actually talked to them.

The Real Cost of the Forwarding Chain

Here's what we noticed watching missionary families cobble together communication systems:

Mom becomes an unpaid email administrator. Every single Monday, she copies the letter into a group text, forwards it to three different email chains, texts the people who don't check email, and fields complaints from whoever got left out.

People fall through the cracks. Old seminary teacher? The neighbor who's been praying for your kid since the farewell? The family friend who thinks they’re imposing by asking to be on the exclusive list (of 145 people). They want to follow along. But nobody remembers to add them to the chain.

Group emails become chaos. 25 people all replying "❤️" "Miss you!" "So good!" drowns out the actual letter. And suddenly your missionary's personal update is buried under a pile of emoji reactions.

Nothing gets saved. Two years of weekly letters—the spiritual journey of your child—scattered across text threads, email forwards, and screenshots nobody can find.

What If There Was a Better Way?

That's why PdayEmails exists.

Here's how it works:

1. You get a custom page. Something like elderjones.pdayemails.com
2. People subscribe themselves. Share the link at the farewell. Post it on Facebook. Text it to the ward. One click and they're in.
3. Your missionary sends ONE email. To a private address. That's it. Everyone on the list gets it instantly.

No app for your missionary to learn. No new technology while they're trying to learn a language and knock doors. They just send an email like they always would.

The "Very Close" Feature Nobody Else Has

Here's something we thought a lot about: not every letter is for everyone.

Some weeks, your missionary shares testimony. Post that everywhere.

But some weeks? Some weeks they're homesick. They're struggling. They write something raw and real that's meant for parents and siblings—not the entire extended family and ward.

So we built two tiers:

• Everyone gets the general updates
• Very Close (parents, siblings, whoever you choose) gets everything—including the more personal letters

Your missionary picks which address to send to. Close family never misses a thing. But the more personal moments stay private.

Why One-Time Pricing?

We could have done a monthly subscription. Most software does.

But here's the thing: mission families are already paying for a mission. Adding another $10/month for two years? That's $240 on top of everything else.

So we made it simple: One payment. Full mission. Done.

$99 for less than 24 months. $149 for 24 months. $199 for the three year senior missionaries and mission president.

No surprises. No renewals. No "oh no, it expired and we lost six months of emails."

The Archive Nobody Thinks About (Until It's Too Late)

Two years of weekly letters is a lot.

When you're in it, you're just reading them, reacting, moving on. But when the mission ends? When your kid comes home and you want to look back at that first letter from the MTC, or that breakthrough moment in month 14?

Every single email is saved in your dashboard. Searchable. Preserved. The complete story of a mission.

Premium customers get it printed into an actual book. But even without that, you've got a permanent record of your missionary's journey.

Real Connection, Zero Extra Work

Your missionary is out there working. Learning a language. Teaching people. Figuring out adulthood in a strange land.

The last thing they need is a complicated system to keep family updated.

PdayEmails takes the work out of emails. It’s so simple. All replies go directly back to the missionary. No more reply all fiascos.

You manage the list. You control the settings.

Your missionary? They just send their letter. Like they were going to anyway.

Set up takes five minutes. Works for the entire mission. Every letter saved forever.
