Mexico at a Glance |

Mexico has a population of more than 103 million and
is larger than the states of California, Arizona,
New Mexico, and Texas combined. It’s climate ranges
from tropical in the lowlands to deserts in the
north.
-
WGM missionaries are currently located in Saltillo,
León, and Irapuato, Mexico. Some are also
ministering in McAllen, TX (6 miles from the Mexico
border).

Documents |
No passport is required for
traveling to Mexico. However, you will need your
original birth certificate and some form of
identification (driver’s license) when checking in at
the airline counter. At
the first team meeting you will receive a Field Travel
Agreement form. Please read, sign, and return it to
your team leader as soon as possible. You will not be
permitted to travel with the team without signing this
form. |
|
Cost |
A deposit of $100 (nonrefundable) will assure your place
on this team. The current cost estimate of $1,159 should be
received no later than March 10, 2007. This includes
tax, tip, food, lodging, insurance, project money, and
airfare from Lexington, Kentucky. A tax-deductible receipt
will be issued by WGM for the contributions provided for
your trip. Cancellation after ticketing will require
you to cover the ticket cost and penalty charge from the
airline.

Immunizations |
There are no required inoculations, but we strongly
recommend that you secure a tetanus vaccination. These
should be completed one month prior to departure and
recorded in a yellow International Certificate of
Vaccination booklet or in a letter from the medical
clinic that gave you the inoculations.
