Week 4

Oh my! I can't believe it's been 4 weeks already! Only 2 more days and he will be at the 1 month mark:)
Here's his weekly email. I know it's short but we'll take what we can get.

Well I’m now on my Fifth week here and the days are getting less and less till I leave for Ecuador. I’m really excited about being able to go out into the real world but then I remember it’s the real world and it won’t be anything like here. I can’t wait for all the great experiences ill have and be able to learn actual Spanish not this baby talk that they teach us here :P My teacher keeps telling us that in Quito they speak really fast and it’s hard to understand but he also told us that the broncos won the superbowl soo idk what to believe ha-ha I am still learning a lot every day and enjoying my time here. I get along with my companion really good and he’s really motivated and helps keep me motivated as well :) I love you all and thank all of you for all your support and everything you do for me and my family your all in my prayers every day! I’m already looking forward to next week :)

Love, Elder Hunt

Pouch Mail

Pouch mail is a service provided by the LDS church. Items are sent via USPS to church headquarters where they are forwarded to the missionary by a private courier along with other church mail. Pouch mail leaves every Friday. Only postcards or one-page correspondences (no envelopes) written on one side of the page may be sent. No photographs.

Letter folding instructions when using the pouch mail service. Lay the letter blank side down. Fold the bottom of the letter about one-third of the way up the page and crease. Fold the top of the letter to the bottom of the first fold and crease. Secure the long side with two piece of tape about one inch from each end, but do not seal the ends. In the top left corner write your name and return address. Affix first class postage in the top right corner. In the middle write the missionary's address as follows:

Elder Kaiden Mckay Hunt

Ecuador Quito Mission

POB 30150

Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0150

FREE LETTER SENDING

Go to www.dearelder.com and set up an account. This is a free service. They will send the letter via pouch mail for you. Make sure you select the Ecuador Quito mission, not the Quito North mission. Follow the instructions. It is very simple!

If you are wanting to send a dearelder.com letter to the Mexico MTC, it is also free. What you need to do is from the home page at dearelder.com under "send stuff" select Pouch (free) from the left columnon. On the next page scroll to the bottom and click search for your mission maually. scroll down to the Mexico MTC and click on "write letter". I'm not sure why you have to do it this way. Hope it helps:)

Mailing Packages

Packages can be sent to

Elder Kaiden Hunt

Ecuador Quito Mission

Calles Robles E4-151 y Av. Amazonas

Casilla: 17-03-078

Quito, Pinchincha

Ecuado

Packages may not exceed 4 pounds AND MUST carry a green sticker, even if the post office workers suggest you use a white one. It must have this customs declaration on the package, or it will not be accepted in Ecuador.

DO NOT SEND PACKAGES BY PRIORITY MAIL OR FEDEX. These will automatically go to "mail jail", requiring a special trip to the post office and payment of a large fee. All of which will cause a long delay for Kaiden to receive the package.
