Week 5 ( Last one at the Mexico MTC)

Week number six has finally arrived. I can’t believe how fast being here has gone. I look back and can see how much progress I’ve made while being here and it’s just amazing. Yesterday, March 5th my companion and I had the chance to teach a real investigator during TRC. We were both scared to death and super nervous. The lesson kind of started out a little rough but as we started talking to him more we found out he wanted to know more about the plan of salvation, especially the afterlife. We taught him and he asked quite a few questions and we answered them all. We ended up committing him to baptism and it was an amazing experience!

It really is soo important to teach by the Holy Ghost and be able to teach a full lesson in Spanish. Although it is most times a love/hate relationship this language is amazing and I love it, just can’t wait for the day when I’m fluent ha-ha :) Thank you all for your support and I can’t wait to head out to Quito on Monday! You’re all in my prayers daily. I know the lord loves each and every one of us and when we strive to be our best he will bless us, beyond measure!

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

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:)
