Brent Made it to the Brazil MTC

I just heard from a lady in our neighborhood… her son knew Brent from High School. He mentioned running into Brent in the MTC this morning, and sent it in his e-mail home to his Mom, and she called me.

So Brent arrived in Brazil safely!

She mentioned we should be getting a confirmation e-mail from the MTC President and his Branch President over the next couple of days. Brent’s first chance to e-mail will be his P-Day next Tuesday or Wednesday. So we’ll have to wait a week to find out about his trip and what he thinks of the MTC.

In the mean time. If you want to write to ‘Elder Parsons’ – he can be reached at one of the addresses below.

There is also mail available directly to the MTC.

Here's the MTC Address

Brazilian Missionary Training Center
Rua Padre António D'Angelo, 121
Casa Verde
São Paulo, SP
02516-040

Brent should be at the Missionary Training Center till approximately October 15th. So if you are sending anything after that October 1st - it would be better to send it directly to the Mission Home address and they'll be able to get it to him.

After he has been assigned an area - we'll have his new mailing address for you.

"Note: Failure to send packages to the MTC by Airmail through the US Postal System will result in import taxes and possible loss of the package! It would be better to send packages to the Mission home."

Grandpa Parsons also checked USPS.com for postage rates.
Brazil: 1 oz letter = $ 94; 2 oz letter = $1.69
Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope = $11.95

Purchase of postage for priority mail online at http://www.usps.com is about $1.00 cheaper.
