Can any Mormon who reads this tell me if Elders on there mission can except cards and gifts from friends they met while teaching? I have a Mormon friend that got transferred to another town and he gave the partner he was staying with to give me the address where he is staying at. So I want to send him a friendly card to say hi. I don't want to get him in trouble so can you tell me if it's appropriate to give him at least a card. I have in the past given other elders good bye gifts and they accepted them. Thank you!

It is generally against mission rules to correspond with someone in the mission while they are still serving. He could accept cards and gifts, but not be free to return the favor or write back. So if you want to, send a friendly card to say hi, but don't write romantic stuff. That will be okay, but don't expect a reply. Let him know that you know he can't reply, and that is okay, so he doesn't worry about hurting your feelings.

I used to be a Mormon and unless things have changed, missionaries can received letters / cards from people they have meet whilst on there mission.

Only if you are over the crush you had on him. But they do have a rule against correspondance from within the mission.
