Week 28

Hello Everyone-

Yesterday we got to Skype with Tyler for Mother's Day. He sent a very short email that mostly commented to family members so I'm not going to post it this week.

Tyler is doing very well. As he was talking to us he was drinking an avacado smoothie. He said that they eat the avacado before it gets all shrively like the ones we have--so it is sweeter. They mixed it with milk and something else. So that was interesting.

He's trying not to eat chocolate since he's gained about 15 lbs and doesn't want to go running because it is so hot. That was funny to hear him talk about.

He had a little bit of a hard time talking in English because he's been talking in Portugues only. He has an accent when he talks-which was really cool to hear.

Tyler is doing great!! Take some time and write to him--you can send emails or handwritten letters. The info is in the right side of the screen.

Thanks for all the support for Tyler.

Love,
His family!

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.
