There are thousands of LDS items and gifts out there. When it comes to giving the right LDS missionary gifts it can be hard because missionaries are so busy getting clothes, shoes, bikes, and reading materials that its hard to find something they need that they can actually bring with them. One great gift idea is that of a missionary plaque. The Mission Tracker is the perfect missionary gift for the family of the missionary and the missionary when he/she returns.

The Mission Tracker differs from other plaques because it is more than just a simple memento to give the missionary when they return from their mission. The Mission Tracker is an interactive approach to monitoring your missionary while they are gone. It is a fun way to join in their spirtitual experiences and see where they physically are on the map.

Some of the many features of the mission tracker includes: current letter and picture holder, current area and address cards, map on a corkboard with colored pins, spot for a picture, mission name and returning and departing dates, and a pull out calendar. These set it apart from any other lds missionary plaque because other plaques have just a generic format, map, and font. The Mission Tracker has an actual mission map with LDS mission boundaries. It is also meant to be used and looked at, not just hung up in some obscure part of an office.

There are two main Mission Tracker models:

• 16" by 20", which is the large, interactive model.  This comes with all of the features that were explained above and is probably your best individual tracker value at $54.95
• 10" by 12", is the smaller more compact model.  This model is great for girlfriends, grandmas, or any other extended family that want to keep track but not look totally  obsessed.  It also is a great option to give to your returning missionary when he  she returns.  This runs at $41.95
• There is a third option which contains both the large and small tracker for only $85.95.  This is your overall best value because you save a little over ten bucks.

As far as LDS missionary gifts go, these are the best on the market.  Go ahead and check out the website for more information.
