Mail info/Wishlist

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

• Use ONLY the United States Postal Service. FedEx and UPS- I'll never see it.
• 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?

Letters and postcards take 1-2 weeks to reach me

Small and large packages (the larger the longer) take about 3-4 weeks
