Elder Smith's Adventures: Companion Elder Wadsworth

About this blog

This blog is dedicated to Elder Wesley Smith's adventures in Merida, Mexico over the next two years as he serves his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and teaches the people of Mexico. His family is proud to present you with the letters and pictures he sends to them.

Wesley is now in Mexico and he would greatly appreciate letters! There is a Pouch system available and they have very specific instructions which are:

"To prevent possible fines, only send postcards and letters that are single sheet, folded into 3-panels, and taped at the top only (no envelopes)" Put this address on the outside, and a USA first class stamp.

These letters are only sent once a week to the his mission so it may take a while for him to get them. His address is:

Elder Wesley Sanford Smith
Mexico-Merida Mission
POB 30150
Salt Lake City, Utah 84130-0150

You can also go to www.dearelder.com and set up an account. Find Mexico-Merida Mission in the drop down menu and click on it to send pouch letters through them.
