Con estas
cosas, también hay los nuevos cobros del correo de Argentina, de cual les hemos
dicho. Ahora hay un 35 pesos de cobro para cada paquete. Esto es además a los
cobros de los oficiales en la oficina de aduana. Todos estos costos son muy
difíciles para nuestros misioneros. Estos costos están deducidos de la plata
mensual de los misioneros, porque la misión no puede ser responsable
económicamente de ellos.
Nosotros
estamos sugiriendo que mandando paquetes por el correo Argentino ya no es un
método viable para su hijo o hija para recibir los artículos del hogar. No usen
FedEx u otro método de envío porque estas cosas permanecen en Buenos Aires para
el destinatario recibir allá. Por supuesto, nuestros misioneros no pueden
viajar fuera de la misión a Buenos Aires. La mejor manera a dar a su hijo o
hija algo especial de la casa es poniendo más plata en su tarjeta personal para
que ellos puedan comprar algo acá en la misión o enviándoles plata por Western
Union, cuya empresa cuenta con oficinas por toda argentina.
Cartas y
sobres chicos todavía están llegando sin problema. Nuestro gerente misional,
Elder Ehmke, estará encantado de responder a cualquier pregunta que usted pueda
tener individuales. Por favor escriba a él en 2012693@ldschurch.org.
We are facing several changes within the Argentine mail
system and customs procedures. We feel
the changes are due to the rather stringent restriction the Argentine
government is placing on imports. As a
result, there are many products that citizens cannot buy locally. People are trying to circumvent the
restriction by ordering products through the Internet. These items are required to go through local
customs offices. This has created a
backlog in their offices. For example,
we have missionaries who have packages which arrived in Argentine in October,
November and December but have not yet been cleared by our local customs
office. We have asked for an indication
as to when we will be able to receive these back-logged packages. We were told we would just have to wait.
In addition to the long delays through customs, we have told
you of the new charges through the Argentine mail system. There is now a $35 peso fee for every
package. This is in addition to the fee
charged by the customs officials. The
costs are becoming very prohibitive for our missionaries. These fees are deducted from the missionary´s
monthly living allotment as the mission cannot be held financially responsible
for them.
We are suggesting that sending packages through the
Argentine mail and customs systems is no longer a viable method for your son or
daughter to receive items from home. Do
not use FedEx or some other shipment method as these items are held in Buenos
Aires for the recipient to receive there.
Of course, our missionaries cannot travel outside of the mission to
Buenos Aires. The best way to give your
son or daughter a special treat from home is definitely by placing an extra
amount on their personal debit card and notifying them on your next email that
the money is there or sending money by Western Union, who has many locations in
our Mission.
Letters and small envelopes (no more than 8 x 11 ½) are
still arriving without difficulty. Our
mission office manager, Elder Ehmke, will be glad to answer any individual
questions you may have. Please write to
him at 2012693@ldschurch.org.
