I can't get our ward missionaries' list on my donation slip. How do I locate it? My son goes this month to the MTC and I need to start paying for his mission. Please help! Thanks.

Re: Need to pay for my son's monthly mission donation.
The steps to make a missionary donation online are:
Since it is only 1 October and a Monday today, I doubt it will take more than a few days for your missionary's name to appear on the list.
Monthly equalized payments are pulled from the ward missionary fund during the second week of the month so I would expect your missionary to be on the list by that time. If it does not appear by that time then contact your ward clerk so he can contact the GSC (global service center) and/or the Missionary Department to see what is happening.
- Sign-in to LDS.org
- Select "My Account and Ward"
- Select "Donations" from the middle column under the "My Ward" column title
(You will be redirected to the LDS Account sign-on page if you did not accomplish the sign-in at step 1) - Click the down arrow in the "Ward Missionary Fund" field for a list of serving ward missionaries from your ward
- Select your missionary and then enter the donation amount

I recommend talking to your ward clerk. Donations can probably be accepted now, but please understand these are donations, so there won't be any refund possible if [heaven forbid] something happened that prevented your daughter from serving.Salomelolohea wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:43 pm Can I pay for her mission donation now or do i have to wait for her to enter mtc and field first?

Re: Need to pay for my son's monthly mission donation.
Online donations definitely have helped smooth some of these issues out at the start of a missionary's service. With paper donation slips, it's easy to have somebody donate too early to a missionary's fund, only for that missionary's info to not be in the system yet. With online donations, it's easier to when the donations can be started (at least if you're in the home ward, I suppose).

Re: Need to pay for my son's monthly mission donation.
Can a member of a different ward and stake make payments directly online to a relatives missionary account? Or must the family send a check to the missionary's Bishop?
