BP 352
Kolda, Senegal

Here is my address. I know that a lot of ya’ll have been asking for it, so I thought that I would finally give it to you. I will get the mail if you send it to this address. Let me also give ya’ll some guidelines if you want to send something. It takes over a month for it to arrive. My team members have never had problems, but the African mail carriers are well known for opening mail and taking something if they want it. If I get a box in the mail, I will have to pay customs on it. Don’t let that stop you, but if you’re able to fit things in one of those padded envelopes then I don’t have to pay customs and envelopes don’t get opened and checked and all that good stuff. One thing that you can send me is pictures. Africans love pictures and I really didn’t bring as much as I would have liked. It doesn’t matter what the picture are of; pictures of your dog, pictures of us together, baby pictures, or just a pictures of the great state of Texas, the locals will still love them and it will be a great way to practice my language and build relationships. I, as of now, don’t need anything that won’t fit into an envelope. Please contact me if you want to send anything bigger than an envelope because there might be an easier way of me getting it to me. Teams come from the US throughout the year. Don’t hesitate if you do want to send something, have anyone questions. We all know that everybody loves mail! I would love to hear more about what’s going on in your life and how I can be praying for you.
