Elder Poirier: Passing Through

Passing Through

Before entering the MTC, Aleksi was able to pick up Mitch from the Salt Lake Airport and take him home for some lunch. They enjoyed a couple precious hours together before two years apart.

They spent some time around the house, taking pictures and Polaroids and then it was time to go.

Tearful goodbye

Best of Luck, Elder Poirier! Your family is proud.

SEND ME LETTERS!

While at the Missionary Training Center:

Elder Mitchell R Poirier
MTC Mailbox #116
MEX-GUAE 1122
2005 N 900 E
Provo, UT 84604-1793

Keep up with the blog to know when I leave the MTC.

While in Mexico:
The mail system is poor, so to send me letters, use the pouch mail system. To do so, click the link below, then in the drop-down menu, select Mexico Guadalajara East. And click "write letter". You'll type me a letter and click send. They'll print it out and send it to me reliably. You can explore the website to understand how it works. If you run out of characters, send another letter to finish!!
Pouch Mail Me

If you want to hand write it, then there are certain instructions to note. Send to the address immediately below. Letters can only be a single sheet, folded into three-panels, and taped at the top only (no envelopes). Stamp and address as normal. Postcards are sent as normal. I'd love to get postcards!

Packages:
They say that packages won't get to the missionary except through FedEx, which is double the cost since it's private. Packages will otherwise always be lost or stolen. You'll need the mission office telephone number indicated below to send packages with a private courier.
