MAIL: Get it?

I'd like to get some, that's for sure!

I move to my final site soon so here's my new mailing address for two years.

Packages/small envelopes under a pound usually gets through customs just fine, but anything larger and you should follow a few trucos/tricks:

• Write "Christian-related" words/phrases on the package.
• Dios te bendiga (God bless you)
• Dios te ama (God loves you)
• Jesus (Jesus)
• Stickers with crosses, Jesus faces, etc. usually ward off greedy custom agents
• Writing in red is sort of TABOO so they don't want to mess with that.
• Address it to "Hermana Cheyenne" (Sister Cheyenne) makes less likely to get stolen
• NEVER NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER say that its value is over $100. I'll never see that box.
• When stating what's actually IN the box for customs papers, put things like "office supplies, shoe insoles, etc." because come on, who wants to steal boring stuff?
