Week 54 - Training, training, training!

Mexican Independence Day

So Elder Madueño went off to Iguala to go be a Zone Leader, And on Monday,I went up to Cuernavaca to go get my new trainee. His name is Elder Zetten. He's from Guatemala. We're going to be in Atoyac until December (probably) and we're pretty excited. I'm going to have almost a year with straight latino companions!

My new trainee, Elder Zetten

This week, Elder Pino from the area presidency came and talked with us. He gave a great capacitation on how we can be better missionaries, and have more pride in the Mission. And how we're called to serve with our mission president. If he was called to another mission, we would have been too. It was really cool.

Goodbye to my former companion,
Elder Contreras!

I also got to say goodbye to Elder Contreras this week, as he finished his mission. Good luck at home buddy!

It was mexican independance day on sunday, and we got some good pictures while I was on divisions with Elder Hughes (Who also finished today)

We had a baptism on Thursday. The Hermano Guadalupe was very content with it, bore his testimony about how he's not perfect, but he's excited to start learning and growing in the gospel.

That about it. Sorry I didn't have much time this week. We had to go to immigration in Cuernavaca and didn't get to acapulco until 6. We didn't have much time to do anything else.

A picture I took with Elder Gillins so he could
get a picture with Hermanas without being alone

HAve a good week. -Elder Scott

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.
