New Mission in Guatemala



Missionaries report that the fifth mission in Guatemala will be organized this summer from the Guatemala Quetzaltenango and Guatemala City Central Missions. The new mission will be named the Guatemala Retahuleu Mission. The decision to create a second mission in the highlands of western Guatemala was likely due to continue to expand outreach into small, Amerindian communities. Many of these communities have members, some of which meet in small branches or groups. Like the creation of Chile Concepcion South Mission in the mid-2000s, the new mission will likely be created to have mission leadership and missionaries work with areas with high inactivity. There are also several districts close to becoming stakes which the new mission may facilitate becoming stakes in the coming years.

Mailing Instructions to send Austin Mail

Austin would love to hear from his family and friends during his mission so here is how to contact him.
You can e-mail your letters to this e-mail address (missmarie123@msn.com) and they will be forwarded to him.
(OR)
Write to him at: (Make sure you read the instructions below!)

Elder Austin Michael Tyler
Guatemala Retalhuleu Mission
POB 30150
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0150
USA

If you send letters to the above address there are some specific instructions on how to do this. Your letters will be forwarded to his mission in Guatemala from SLC using a 'pouch mail service.'
Pouch mail service is the best method to use in countries where mail service is not reliable.
So, the instructions are that your letter has to be a single sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper written on one side only. Then fold it into three-panels and tape at the top only (it should look like a folded letter you would put into a legal sized envelope). No envelopes are allowed to be sent through the pouch. Once you've folded and taped you may address the middle panel as you would do a normal envelope and put a stamp on it and mail it.

Should be pretty easy.
Also, the above address is for letters only.

***RE: PACKAGES - We've been told not to take the time or spend the money on sending packages to him because of the excessive cost and the likelihood that things will be stolen out of the packages.


Thanks everyone for helping to support him!
