Week 9

This week we had the amazing opportunity to Baptize a family of 5 named the Salazars. All I can say is that they are one amazing family and they are going to be strong members in our church! I got to baptize two of the kids Hyrum (15) and Eddison (9). It was such a neat experience! All of the hard work really pays off once you get to completely change there lives and help them to receive this amazing gift! Our Heavenly Father will always reward us for our hard work, we just have to be diligent.

On Tuesday it rained like I’ve never seen before and by the end of the day I was soaked from my waist down. Not going to lie, but it was probably one of the best days we’ve had and even though we were soaked we kept working. I love this work and what it brings to other peoples lives! Something I’ve been studying a little bit lately is Charity and how important it is in missionary work and in our lives everyday. I have found that when your having a bad day, if you make it your goal to make someone else's better you will receive so much help from the lord.

I would like to challenge you all to find opportunities to serve other people, no matter how big or small I know you'll receive many blessings. The food here is getting better and better as I’m here longer and even though it's mostly rice and chicken, the ladies that cook for us cook some dang good stuff! I love it here and I love the people of Ecuador! If you have any questions you'd like me to answer just put it on my blog and my mom will let me know. Thanks for all you do. I love you all!

Sincerely, Elder Kaiden Mckay 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:

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:)
