So you want to send us something? Yay!
Mail will be much appreciated. Peace corps recommends that any items be sent in padded envelopes. If you send a box, we’ll have to pay some sort of tax in order to collect it, but envelopes are happily free. NOTE: we often pay a tax on the envelopes too, so if a box is easier… don’t worry about it.

I don’t think I submitted my comment, that we’re sending jerky, chocolate bars, and spices–sent a week ago, so you might expect them in a couple more weeks. Hope the chocolate doesn’t melt! Thinking of you. Love, Mom G

Sounds crazy. What do you think of my nocturnal decree I have a joke for you =) Why is the letter A like a flower? Because a Bee comes after it!

I sent you guys a package. I lied on the customs form…hopefully the items aren’t appealing to other people.
