Sending Mail to Ethiopia.

Hi all...

This post is particularly important if you have ever sent me anything via mail.  Since my service will be coming to a close in a few months, I wanted to give you an update.

For packages:  I really don't need any more packages at this point because I only have a few months left.  But if you feel so inclined to send one, please make sure that you send it by mid February.  Packages take on average, about a month to reach me.  If you send a package any later than mid-February, it is very possible that I will not receive it before I leave.

For letters:  Letters, you can send a bit later because they take less time to get to me.  I would say, send letters no later than the beginning of March.  If letters are sent to me at the beginning of March, the hope would be that I received them a few weeks before I finish my service.

Also, keep in mind that my last day in Ethiopia will be April 6.  I will most likely be closing my PO box about a week or so prior to this date.  So I will most likely be closing my PO box one of the last days of March.

As I have said many times before, thank you all so much for your continuing support!
