Week 6

Elder Haws wrote us a short letter, mostly with informational information. Here you go!

Make sure you let everybody know that letters now should go to the mission home and not the CTM because by the time they get here I will be out there already! Its crazy that I will be 20 this week! I feel so old! But not really. Souds like good food, I can't wait until I get out of the CTM and can eat real Brazilian food. As long as I don't drink the water. Cause then i would get super sick haha. I love you and miss you so much, sorry i dn't have time for a big email to everyone this week but there's nothing to say anyway.

Tchau,
Elder Haws

When Tyler is talking about the food that sounds good, it's because we told him that we went out to dinner at Loco Lizard for his birthday and ate rice and beans in his honor. And then this weekend we will go to a place that has "American food with a Brazilian flair" to see what we are missing :)

Package Mailing Instructions:

DO NOT send anything by: FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. The mission cannot accept them and your missionary will have to pay, sometimes hundreds of dollars, to get them out of the customs office, often more than the total cost of the items sent.

The best way to send packages to your missionary is to use a PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL envelope obtained at any U.S. Post Office. The flat rate envelope is about $12.00 for up to 4 obs. Packages arrive in Brazil fairly quickly and safely in about 3-4 weeks. Priority boxes also work well but are more expensive to send.

Please use padded envelopes when sending CDs, thumb drives, or other small items. These items, when placed in a flat envelope, damage postal equipment and can be damaged during transit.

Merchandise: Clothing, food products, and merchandise should be sent direct to the mission office address. However, clothing or other dutiable merchandise often does not reach its intended destination or, if it does arrive, may be subject to customs duties that the missionary will not be prepared to pay. Small packages of nominal value may be sent through the United States Postal Service. Photographs and tapes may be included in these packages. Merchandise sent through a commercial mail carrier is extremely expensive and may be subject to customs duties, but this is the best way to send credit or debit cards.
