Dear Family and Friends,
I just wanted to send a quick update on sending packages. Along with our earlier post, I want to suggest that when listing contents of your package, that you simply put "Missionary Supplies." We just received a package, sent correctly through US Post, for which we paid the normal 100 peso fee. But added on to that was a 4400 peso (98.00) "customs fee," because the items inside were listed as new. Parents had sent their missionary son some shoes and pants. We have never had this happen before. We feel that putting "Missionary Supplies" on your package forms will alleviate future problems. I will put in another plug for shipping via Julie Hess, who accepts packages and sends them together to our mission using LBC. Her information can be found on the previous blogpost "MLC, New Leadership Training, the "ber" months and Sending Packages," September 2015.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any questions...
