things we have learned about sending stuff

I mailed a box to JD on 8/26 and it was delivered on 9/15. That's 3 weeks. Letters take 2 weeks. The things we send now sit at the mission home for a period of time until he can get them. Rumor has it it may be as long as 2 1/2 weeks. So plan on a month for JD to get a letter you mail and 5 to 6 weeks for a package. His "P" day is Wednesday. For those of you who may not know what a "P" day is - it stands for preparation. It is kind of like a day off. They still have to abide by the mission rules and have a schedule to follow, but it is a day of errands and chores. They are also allowed to be tourist a little bit. That is why he only checks his email on Wed. They can do shopping and laundry. It is a day to blow off some steam. Missionaries still spend the whole day with their companion. It happens to be my favorite day of the week!!

Love to all,
