Hard Work, Spiritual Experiences, and Rats....Just another week in the life of a Missionary in Mexico

Week 2 in Mexico has come and gone.  Haden is doing well and seems to be having a great time.  His letters are getting longer and longer and it's fun to hear about all the experiences he is having.  I'm hoping to get some pictures from him soon and I will post those. 

All the contact info and everything else on the blog is up to date.  If you need a phone number for shipping purposes, let me know and I can provide that for you. 

His letter is below....

Hola Mexico

Below is Haden's first email from Mexico City.  He has been there one full week already and as you will be able to tell after you read his letter, he loves it. 

He has also moved since he has been there.  His new address on the Contact Info page.  I have also added a new "Blog Help" page to hopefully answer any questions you may have about how to subscribe and/or post a comment.

If you want to send Haden a note you have four options:

1. Post a comment on a blog post.  I will forward all comments to him.  Information on how to post a comment is located on the Blog Help page.
2. Write him an email directly.  His email address is located on the Contact Info page.
3. Use Dearelder.com. 
4. Send him a physical letter.

If you are a blog subscriber, you cannot reply to those emails to contact Haden.  The email is sent to you through a subscription service, so it is automated. 

Also, please know that even if he does not reply to you, he does get all of your notes and appreciates them.  He only has a limited amount of time on the computer each week so he can't reply to everyone.  But he does appreciate all the support via comments and emails that he gets.  Please keep reaching out to him with little words of encouragement, he is doing great now and I know it is because of all the support he has received thus far.

Now...without further ado....the letter.

ADIOS AMERICA!!!!

Haden leaves for Mexico on Monday!  Crazy how fast time flies. 

His contact information has been updated on the Contact Info page.  We have been informed that if you are going to send a package to make sure to use FedEx, DHL, or UPS.  The US Postal Service does not have a good track record in this section of Mexico. 

Also, one easy alternative is to use dearelder.com to send letters to him.  They will send the letters via a pouch system, so not only is delivery guaranteed, they will get there much quicker than if you mailed it yourself.  For weekly deliveries your letter must be submitted by midnight Sunday night.

Haden's first place in Mexico will be right in the center of the city, about 15 min. east of the airport.  It's going to be an amazing experience and we are all very excited for him.

Below is his last letter from the USA for the next year and 10 months....
