My daughter's bf is currently serving in South America, current location disguised to protect the guilty.
Nonetheless, after querying numerous books and mothers of missionaries as to what was proper to send, my daughter sent a package to her missionary bf including small items for the twenty-five days of Christmas. To her great embarrassment and disappointment, the South American mission president opened the bf's mail, confiscated items he deemed according to his own wisdom as "contrary to his undisclosed and personal interpretation of mission rules", so that the bf was to receive only three of the twenty-five items.
The girl's mother is not a wallflower such as the girl's father. The mother went into action calling SLC finding who was in charge and researching the law of the South American country to determine which laws he had broken, and apparently he had broken several. She found the person in charge, a relative of a ward member, btw, and informed him that he, the MP or the Church would replace the items free of charge. Or there would be Hades in North and South America. Knowing her mother like I do, I suggest they pay attention.
Who says women don't govern the Church.
