Semana 84

Hi everyone! I hope you´re having a great week. We´re doing great here in Riobamba! It´s awesome here and I´m happy to be here.

This week I reach 21 months!

We asist in a branch and asistance this week was about 62 which is very little. My goal is to by three months have regular asistance of about 90 to 100. We´re going to work really to make it work out.

We have an investigator progresing. His name is M. He is has already been coming to church for a while and studies a ton about the church on the internet and scriptures and has a huge desire to be baptized. He can´t yet though because he wants to wait for his daughter to come back to Spain to see him get baptized. She gets back the first week of May so he´ll get baptized May 2nd. Which the zone leaders interviewed him a while ago and said that´s all okay.

That´s about all for this week. I hope you have a great week and stay safe and I hope to hear from you all next week.

Chao!

-Elder Gomez

Amo ser misionero :)

Packages can be sent to the address above. Packages may not exceed 4 pounds AND MUST carry a green sticker, even if the post office workers suggest you use a white one. It must have this customs declaration on the package, or it will not be accepted in Ecuador.

DO NOT SEND PACKAGES BY PRIORITY MAIL OR FEDEX. These will automatically go to "mail jail", requiring a special trip to the post office and payment of a large fee. All of which will cause a long delay for Alex to receive the package.

Pouch mail

Pouch mail is a service provided by the LDS church. Items are sent via USPS to church headquarters where they are forwarded to the missionary by a private courier along with other church mail. Pouch mail leaves every Friday. Only postcards or one-page correspondences (no envelopes) written on one side of the page may be sent. No photographs.

Letter folding instructions when using the pouch mail service. Lay the letter blank side down. Fold the bottom of the letter about one-third of the way up the page and crease. Fold the top of the letter to the bottom of the first fold and crease. Secure the long side with two piece of tape about one inch from each end, but do not seal the ends. In the top left corner write your name and return address. Affix first class postage in the top right corner. In the middle write the missionary's address as follows:

Elder Alex Todd Gomez
Ecuador Quito Mission
POB 30150
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0150
