(1) We usually answer in Spanish, so please start talking in English, and we
will answer in English. The message voice mail is in Spanish. So when it stops
the recording, just speak your message in English.

If you get through, this is your best bet on talking directly with me in a
hurry. Our home phone does not ring very loud, so let it ring until we answer.

at the latest. We do not have midweek prayer meeting but take 20 minutes during
the Sunday AM service, and sometimes the entire PM service.
Saturdays - Usually before 11 AM is good, but we are in
and out all day Saturday until about 7PM.
Sundays - Usually we do not answer the telephone during
service times. We have a 5PM to 6 PM evening service. Try after 6:30PM up until
about 11 PM. We go out with our people to eat Sunday afternoon and seldom return
early. We come back around 4PM to 4:30 PM.
Cell Phone - used usually when I am away from the house.
Mon-Fri - From 10AM through 6 or 7 PM. I do not go out
every day, and Wednesdays very seldom (I cannot drive that day).
Saturdays - I have the cell phone turned on usually
from the late morning (11AM) through about 4 PM.
Sundays - Seldom do I turn on the cell phone on
Sundays, if I do, it is when we go out to eat after 1PM until 4PM.
How to send us an email.
Warnings: I have email filters and an email Spam killer program (MailWasher Pro) in effect at all times as well as Norton Antivirus Software. What that means is that any email with certain words will automatically be deleted BEFORE I SEE IT!!!! Even if your email makes it through these security checks, it is possible that I will delete it just looking at the subject line.
IMPORTANT: Always put the following in the subject line of your email - "missionary", "from a supporter", your name if you support me or have corresponded with me before, your church's name, or "Missionary David Cox", or something to let me know by JUST READING THE SUBJECT LINE, that your email is not spam. If you send me an email and I do not respond to it, you should resend an email with just the subject line "please add me to your friends list". This overrides the Spam killer software. Then resend your regular email.
MY EMAIL ADDRESSES: or
Note if you see no email addresses above: The above email addresses are in code and show appear normally as a link. This is to keep Spammers that search my website from adding my email addresses to their databases. If the addresses do not appear normally, they are "davidcox" at (arroba) "davidcox.com.mx", and "dcox" at "davidcox.com.mx". Type these in by hand and it will get to me.
Note: DO NOT SEND ME EMAIL AT THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS! I am dropping them and I do not check them anymore.

How to set up a live MSN Messenger Chat session.
I have MSN Messenger Chat, so when I have the computer turned on I usually will see people enter MSN Chat.
How MSN Messenger works - This is a simple program that opens a window and sends something like emails back and forth in real time. I write something on the screen and we both see it, then you write something on the screen and we both see it. We have a conversation by writing short messages back and forth. We can also send files back and forth. If you wish to discuss something with me, make recommendations, or get information from me and you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the way to do it on the cheap. It is also live, so it is very good for making something interactive.
How to set up MSN Messenger - If you are unfamiliar with how this works, you download (http://messenger.msn.com) and install MSN Messenger on your computer. You then register for a free hotmail account (www.hotmail.com). You send me your hotmail address and you enter my hotmail address in your MSN Messenger. Then when I log on to the internet or when you log on to the internet, all the "friends" you list in your Messenger will see a brief window over the date and time at the right hand bottom of their screen saying that "so and so" has entered a MSN session.
My Hotmail Address:
IMPORTANT: If you want to set this up, send me an email (not at the hotmail address but at one of the above addresses) and tell me when you are going to be looking for me on the internet so that I can make sure I will be logged on and waiting and watching for you.
Note: Please do not send me emails at my hotmail address because I seldom check the mail there, and it is better to use the above email addresses (go here to see them). From time to time I get fed up with the spam I get through Hotmail and will change my email address with them. If you already have talked with me on MSN Messenger chat, I will update you, otherwise check back here for the correct hotmail address.
How to come and visit us, or set up a summer team.
We have had a summer teams come visit to work. We appreciate your wanting to come and see our humble work we are doing for the Lord. We would like to invite you to come and visit with us. We have to do things in a way that would honor the Lord, and that fits in with our work and ministry.
Conditions for summer teams and visits:
(1) Our ministry comes first before our visitors. If you do not come to be a blessing to us or to help us, then we cannot have you come.
(2) We cannot pay for your expenses. We are on a very limited budget, and as such, we cannot pay for your expenses in coming down. You will have to pay for transportation to Mexico City, as well as lodging if you are not staying with us. If you eat with us, whether in our house or in restaurants, you should help us with these expenses by either paying for your part of the restaurant bill or leaving us with a love offering to cover our expenses.
(3) Seeing Tourist attractions. We are glad to "get away" for a little bit and visit tourist sites with you, but we also have a ministry which we must attend to, and this must be limited. We especially appreciate visitors that want to pass out tracts, work on our church building, and help us in whatever way.
