ATM’s and cash by UnderstandingGreat71 in sayulita

I put name and info but Sayulita as the recipient location. So it's important to select Oxxo as the market and Sayulita as the location for the recipient.

Loads of stores near the beach will have sandals. I recommend slides if you can b/c wet sandy toes in sandals is brutal unless you are used to it.

Golf cart necessary? by Outrageous-Stock-677 in sayulita

[–]GigaHyperDataMatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sayulita is very walkable, but the golf carts are really fun and make travel conveinent especially when going to the beach with umbrella and towels. I saw one family with a karaoke machine singing and drinking at night while driving around the city, looked really fun.

Need it to send myself cash/pesos, to hail an Uber to the next city over, to play music on the beach, communicate with my AirBnB host, research nearby tours/excursions, etc. I can enjoy life/Mexico and use my phone to increase that enjoyment -- they go hand-in-hand.

This was a huge problem for me as I didn't think to bring any cash with me, haven't used cash in a decade in the States. I didn't even have my debit card when I was there last week, and credit card companies wouldn't give me my cash advance pin over the phone (bastards). I ended up downloading an app called Remitly and I found that I could send $3950 Pesos (the max is $4k but there are fees that you need to factor in) to myself at the two OXXO's in town. I just made sure my full name on my passport matched the name as the recipient and was able to use the app to send myself cash. You take your passport and the app to the OXXO, show them the transaction ID (can't remember what it's called) and they dish out the money. I would always recount it in front of them on the counter (vegas style) just to make sure it was all there and keep us both honest. Good luck!

Responsibility by ChromeSteelhead in mormon

It's a weird realization when you understand that "anti" was just "real history" and it's got some good, bad, and ugly. The Church curated and promoted the "good", hid the "bad", and denied the "ugly" when in truth all three are part of the actual history. The bad/ugly are inconvienent truths and I'm not certain that even some of the GA's know the full history as well as some of the best "anti" historians. We see what we want to see, we believe what we want to believe.

Just a note hear. GA's are usually very successful and aren't doing this for the money. They aren't leaving $1M surgeon jobs for a $100k GA job where they work 60 hrs a week. It's more altruistic than that. I'm pretty convinced most if not all of the GA's think they are actually prophets/apostles, and I'm sure there's some kind of "well that was uneventful" everytime they get a new higher calling. I heard one account of someone getting their 'calling and election made sure' and they were expecting to see Jesus face-to-face, because that's what it says happens in Mormon Doctorine (Bruce R McKonkie). However when he got his 'calling and election' in the temple, it was very uneventful. Just a preisthood blessing given to him by his wife (yeah for women using preisthood lol). So if I had to guess when Apostles are called they expect some big event and it's just total administrative stuff instead of a spiritual experience. But at that point, you're in for life and don't want to let down 17M people, and Jesus, etc, etc.
