City Slicker

Hey Everyone!

I am writing you guys from the center of Trujillo! I still can't believe that I am here, to be honest. My new area is called Central, and it is literally the very epicenter of the city of Trujillo. I am downtown, and our area even covers the giant famous plaza in the middle of the city. Everything is great here, even though it is pretty darn hot. I have been able to eat McDonalds, KFC, and Papa Johns this week, which I know I have said in all of my letters to you guys, but I don't think you understand just how big of a deal that is. Really made me incredibly happy.

Anyways, everything is going great. Elder Richards and I are getting along great, and having a lot of fun leading our zone to success! Everybody proselytes right here in Trujillo, so it is fun to just be updated on everything. We talk about baseball all day, and the things that we miss from the USA. Can you believe I have almost 15 months?? Time sure flies.

I will be giving you guys some more pictures and stories next week. This week was more of one of just getting to know the area and getting used to walking on sidewalks again. I miss Alto Moche, but this place, let's be honest, is WAY BETTER. It's good being a missionary right now.

I know you will hate me for not sending pics, but I will definitely do that next week! I just forgot myt camera cord like a dummy. Seriously, I am going to take more pìcs now, I promise!!!

Love ya
Trace

How to contact Elder Levos

Elder Levos absolutely loves to get mail! There are three ways to contact him while he is in Peru:

1. http://www.dearelder.com/

This is the easier way, and it works basically as an email. Simply type in the web address, and on the front page choose the drop-down menu that says "Select mission". Select the Peru, Trujillo mission, and then choose to "write a letter". On the next page, type in your contact information, and specify the recipient of the letter to be Elder Trace Levos. This will be printed out and mailed to Peru through the pouch system, at no expense to you.

2. Written letters

Elder Levos can recieve written letters, though they have to be sent through the pouch system. This system involves no envelopes, and has to be done in a specific manner. After writing the letter (use computer paper, notebook paper will not process, no photos allowed), lay it 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 pieces of tape about one inch from each end, but do not seal the ends. In the top left corner write your name and complete return address. Affix first class postage in the top right corner. In the middle write the missionary address as follows:

Elder Trace Levos
Peru Trujillo Mission
POB 30150
Salt Lake City, UT 84130

3. Mailing packages

Elder Levos can receive packages at the mission home in Peru. If sending through a private courier, the telephone number is 51 44-291-543. Send them to the following address:

Elder Trace Levos
Avenida Larco 849, Piso 3
Urb. La Merced
Trujillo, La Libertad
PERU

You can also send normal mail (letters in envelopes, cards, pictures) to the above address.
