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....

Second to last letter from the USA!!!

Second to last week in the MTC and Haden is only getting more excited.   

This week click below to hear about Haden's real life chance to use Spanish, his opportunity to sing for more big wigs and his up close and personal experiences with some Apostles. 

No new pictures yet this week.  Hopefully I can get a few more up this weekend.  If you haven't sent him any love, be sure to do so, he'll need it over the next week as he prepares to take on the next hurdle.....leaving the MTC.

New choir, First Presidency sighting, and more pictures

Below is the letter from Haden for this week.  He had a pretty cool experience this week and it seems like he is having a good time.

Haden leaves for Mexico in just 2 weeks...so get those packages sent to him ASAP.  When he gets to Mexico I will have his new address in the contact info.

Also below we have PICTURES!!!!! Courtesy of Ms. Kristen Badal.

I also wanted to mention, if anybody has any questions about anything, feel free to email me.  tobin.jaramillo@gmail.com.

Sorry this post is a day late.  Below is this week's letter from Haden. 

Only three more weeks until he takes off for Mexico City.  Unbelievable.

Keep reading to read Haden's letter and see a few more pictures!!!

Elder Jaramillo has hit his 4 week mark in the MTC

Below is the most recent letter from Elder Jaramillo.  It's is amazing how much he grows with each week.  It's a blessing to all of us in our family that he is enjoying his experience and thriving.

Also, please note that in certain letters there are links (in orange) that will give you more information about certain aspects of his letter.  Also, if you have any questions about anything that he says about our church or his experience please contact me and I will help fill in the gaps.

I know that Haden appreciates all your support and I can tell you that our family is grateful for everybody that takes the time to write him letters and send him packages. 

Almost a month in....Elder Hoots is going strong!

Another week....another letter.  This letter is a day late getting posted because I wanted to post some pictures too.
