Week 2

Here's the E-Mail that we got from Kaiden today:)

Second week in the MTC or CCM as we call it here. Glad to have another week down with my Spanish growing better by the day. The days are up and down, just depends on the time of day haha. This week we actually had more American-ish food which was nice and it actually had some flavor. It’s great to be somewhere where the weather is pretty much always nice (sorry for all you who are in the snow) :P

My testimony of the truthfulness of this gospel grows stronger each day! I love all my companions and we may have disagreements but they’re still friends to me. I really can’t wait to be able to go out to Quito and start teaching real people, although at the same time it’s kind of scary :P Love you all and your all in my prayers every day!!

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:)

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.
