Support for a missionary in another part of the world?
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 12:26 pm
I was reading this thread and have a "possibly somewhat related" question.
https://tech.lds.org/forum/showthread.p ... missionary
A missionary from our ward returned from her mission last week and there is surplus money in her Missionary Account in MLS. After the broadcast today, her father approached me (all her mission money was donated by him) and asked if there was a way to transfer her surplus money to support a missionary getting ready to go out from a ward in her mission.
Her mission was to a third world country and sending a check through the mail may be a theft risk (which is why he doesn't just send a check to them).
I understand the handbook restriction on writing missionary fund checks to wards outside of our Stake, but is there a way to notify CHQ of the ward in question and ask them to pull the money from our Ward Missionary fund and deposit it in the other ward?
Any alternate suggestions?
