About 5 weeks ago, Elder Salazar...ATM card update:<br /><br />About 5 weeks ago, Elder Salazar wrote us that his ATM card was no longer working. We immediately went to Bank of America, and were told that due to a security breach his (and hundreds of others) card had been de-activated. Then and there we got a replacement card, activated it, and mailed it to him express mail, via the U.S. postal service. We were told it would only take 2-3 weeks for it to arrive. 6 weeks later he still hasn't recieved his ATM card. Today we have gotten another ATM card and Fed-Ex'd it two night to him for $40. It should get to him on Wednesday.<br /> <br />Mail theft is extremely common in Mexico, once it leaves the states there's no control over what happens to the mail.<br /><br />RickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979741468394583319.post-78539680796642646982009-07-13T16:07:09.571-07:002009-07-13T16:07:09.571-07:00Elder Salazar,

He arrives at the MTC on Wednesday for his training then on to El Salvador. He'll be a fine missionary.<br /><br />Jarom Olson is getting very close to sending in his papers. I guess that isn't correct anymore because everything is done online. He needs an interview with President Hicken then???<br /><br />Several others - Seth Olson, Travis Johnson, Julius Aiono - in the pipeline. Some others a little further back.<br /><br />May we send you some ear plugs so the train noises won't bother you at night?<br /><br />How do the townspeople stop the freight train so they can loot it? Where are the police? In cahoots with the robbers?<br /><br />What's the story of the ATM? Did you leave home without it? Did it expire? Have you requested your first one? Inquiring minds want to know.<br /><br />Bishop BowringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
