Week 69 - A visit from Gabe's Friends

This week we got a very brief email from Elder Scott late on P-day telling us there would be no email from him until next week. We hope they were doing something super fun on P-day that kept them from writing home.

Meanwhile, we received a visit from Elder Schmitz and Elder Winegar on New Year's Eve to deliver our Christmas gifts from Mexico. Elder Schmitz was Gabe's companion prior to returning home last month. He brought us gifts that Gabe had picked out for us in Mexico and a handwritten letter that we cherished! Elder Winegar was in Gabe's MTC group in Mexico City and has been home recuperating and preparing to go back to the mission field this month. We loved meeting both of them!

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.
