Week 38 - Sandwiches get you investigators

We've been teaching these two guys that we met buying sandwiches, and they're super cool, and they're feeling really good about their baptismal date. We're hoping all goes well with them.

We bought 2 kgs of hot dogs because we didn't want to keep leaving the house to go buy food. When it rains, you need to protect your hot dogs.

Margarita is all taken care of. We can put in her records and she'll be a member! She's very excited!

Hermano Rosendo is someone we've been working with since we got here to Burgos, and he started to fall off a little bit. But this week, he came to church, and Elder Rivas taught the best he has in his whole mission. It was awesome, and we're trying to get him to do that for the rest of the mission.

Elder Rivas and I have gotten very bored on p-days and we're looking for new stuff to do. Feel free to tell us something more than bowling and shopping, and cleaning and sleeping.

We couldn't do a whole lot more this week, because we lost all of Friday. Elder Rivas went to Ciudad de Mexico to take care of his citizenship papers. There was so much traffic, it took 4 hours to get there, and 7 hours to get back. And it took 40 minutes to do the paperwork. I was very bored, staying back at the mission office waiting for him.

I hope that's enough for one week. Love you guys, and have a great week!

Letters & Packages

Letters

Email - scott.gabriel@myldsmail.net

LDS Pouch - Post cards or one-page correspondence only. Fold the letter in thirds and secure the long side with tape about one inch from each end. Do not seal the ends. Stamp and address the blank side as you would an envelope. Use the following mailing address:

Elder Gabriel Scott

Mexico Cuernavaca Mission

POB 30150

Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0150

Physical Mail - Use USPS to send letters to the mission home (address at top of page) or use DearElder.com to have email sent as mail. The best of both worlds - you write an email, but he receives paper mail that doesn't have to be read from a computer screen. Cost for DearElder.com is $1.20 (to cover international postage).

Packages

Small packages of nominal value may be sent through regular mail. Use the mission home address shown above. If you send a package through a private courier, you will need the mission office number which is 52 777-310-5394. Bulky items should be shipped in padded envelopes to avoid damage. Packages sent to other countries often do not reach their intended destination. When they do arrive, they are subject to customs fees that must be paid by the missionary out of his personal funds. This amount may be equal or greater than the cost of the items being sent.
