**Address Error** PLEASE READ!

IT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT I HAD AN OLD ADDRESS POSTED TO ANDREW'S BLOG AND I AM SOOOO SORRY! BELOW IS THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO GET CORRESPONDENCE TO ANDREW AS OF 1/18/12, THANKS!

For letters through the church pouch service: Letter folding instructions: 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 pieces of tape about one inch in 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.

Andrew Todd Smith

Guatemala Retalhuleu Mission

POB 30150

Salt Lake City UT 84130-0150

Direct to Guatemala for packages or letters: Be sure to find out the postage rate at the post office.

New address

Here is Andrew's current address, with some instructions on what to send where:

Real quick my address here at the MTC is:

Boulevard Vista Hermosa 23-71
Zona 15 Vista Hermosa 1

Guatemala, Ciudad de Guatemala

If you send packages send it in a flat rate box, I guess they have better security, never send cash, money, or memory cards. UPS is super expensive but faster. It takes around 5 days for a letter to get from here to utah, then 1-2 days from slc to roy. if you are sending it via pouch do it this way:

Elder Andrew Smith

Gutemala Retalehelu Mission

po box 30150

salt lake city utah, 84130-0150

no packages

Off He Goes!

It's time to finally put this blog to use. I will get better at posting pictures in order (I hope!), but today, we took Andrew as a family to the MTC. It was really an awesome experience and there were a lot of tears!
First things first, here is his address at the MTC, PLEASE WRITE HIM!:

Elder Andrew Todd Smith
MTC Mailbox # 89
GUA-RET 1122
2005 N 900 E
Provo, UT 84604-1793

**I will tag all of the posts on this blog with 'address' if they contain a new address so you can search at any time to find out where to write him


Andrew and my Dad hugging goodbye, this was so sweet

Andrew hugging mom goodbye, I think it just hit him how much he is going to miss her!

Our parents are so proud, and they should be!
Uncle 'Wandrew', we will miss you!

This was a sweet shot I stole of my mom and him....
I am so proud of Andrew's decision to spend two years of his life serving the Lord. He is so focused and ready for this, it's unreal. There were literally hundreds of missionaries at the MTC to greet him and it is so amazing to see that many great, outstanding young men who are willing to serve the Lord. I was overwhelmed by the spirit and the love as we dropped him off. It was a hard day but I have a feeling it will be harder waiting to hear from him for the first time!
