Trace in Trujillo: We're Packed In

We're Packed In

Hello all! (side note: if any on the sending list don't want to receive my weekly email, feel free to tell me. I won't be offended. Frankly, I would be quite annoyed if some missionary sent me their letter every week and I didn't even want to read it in the first place)

Anyway, it has been a great week here, especially with all the blessings from the Lord that we are seeing. We had 15, that's right, FIFTEEN investigators go to church with us yesterday, and 5 of those are committed to be baptized this month. I'm not sure if the Lord is just really pleased with us, or if we're just finally starting to figure out how to be good missionaries, but everything is going right. I just hope against hope that I don't get changed out this coming Sunday. This change was short due to President and Hermana Turk leaving, so I might get the outs 2 weeks early. I'm hoping for a miracle though. Who knows, I might stay after all! I am still definitely taking advantage of all the fast food here though, just in case.

Explanation of the pictures:

1. Me with the KFC bucket...actually I guess that is pretty self-explanatory.

2. My shoelace just snapped in half the other day. I guess I really am getting old.

CONGRATS TO TAYLOR AND CHRISTY!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Love you all!

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.
