Week 15

First off, it's crazy that I will be 19 years old in 18 days...One year older and wiser too ;) This last week was a pretty good one. We had some of our investigators drop us but we still have a few families progressing. I could possibly be baptizing someone on my birthday but we'll see! We had some really good lessons and some really weird and not so good lessons too.

We found out that one of our investigators isn't married but they live together so we’ve been working on that. We basically had a marriage counseling session the one day and let me tell you what.. that was a blast! It did help them out though and it helps to have a companion because it's honestly like being married and sometimes worse because you have no alone time. It's great to be able to help people with the problems they have and sometimes it even helps you.

I learn more and more every day and have been trying to find something new to improve on every day. It was so great to be able to talk to my family yesterday and I hope that you all had a great Mothers Day! The weather here has been kind crappy lately. It rains basically every day and is cold. Both me and my companion have pretty bad colds, but hey no pain - no gain right? ;) Thanks for all of your prayers and concerns. I hope the best for you all and will keep you in my prayers!

Con amor,
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:)

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.
