10 Practial Considerations & Things to Remember
-
Most
pull in a trailer with household items sufficient to get them through the year. Remember, unless
you will be living in Mexico permanently, you will not need to bring the "world" with you. Aguascalientes
is a large city with a high standard of living and anything you "really" need can
be purchased here. If you pull in a trailer, you must take it to the border
each time you go. For your own peace of mind while traveling here, a closed
trailer is better than an open one.
- If your wife is pregnant and her delivery
will interrupt her study, we suggest you wait and come after the baby arrives.
- Both husband and wife are expected to study.
- Deputation should be complete and couples
should plan on leaving for their field within three months after completing language
school. It is not practical to tarry as it definitely affects efficiency in
the language. You need to get into pure Spanish as soon as possible since you
will be wasting your time and money as well as ours if you plan to study and then
do extensive deputation afterward.
- New students should arrive on the field in
plenty of time (on the date indicated) in order to have plenty of time to get housing
and get settled before school starts. Do not ask to be an exception as permission
will not be given for you to arrive later.
- New students are to submit Applications to
the Fundamental Baptist World-Wide Mission home office. You are not officially accepted
until you get a letter of acceptance from the Mission.
- There are new regulations and requirements
for entering Mexico. Make sure you have communicated with the school administration
on the field before you come so that you will be sure to have the correct requirements,
etc. This is very important.
- You need to have passports for every member
of your family (including children). This will facilitate getting your permanent
visa if you will be staying in Mexico and if going to other countries, you
will need to have them also.
- Take note of the date that new Applications
are due. They must be in by this date so to give ample time to write references,
etc. If you do not get them in by these dates, you must wait to make Application
for the next semester.
- Missionaries serving with Fundamental Baptist
World-Wide Mission must submit Applications to enter the Institute. Please
let us know of your plans as soon as possible. Applications must be submitted for
children of missionaries also. Children of language students are required to
attend the Academy.
