Packages...?

Because a number of you were asking, i thought i would throw something up that let you know how to send us stuff; cards, letters, food, large wads of cash (i kid! maybe...). anyways, i have asked around and apparently it takes about two weeks to receive anything by mail here from the States. But if any of you feel inclined, it is always nice to get mail in any form; Blog comments, email, facebook messages, SNAIL MAIL!!!

so here is the address:
Mikey and Laura Fissel
c/o Ten Thousand Homes
P.O. Box 4450
White River 1240
Mpumalanga
SOUTH AFRICA

also, a couple things that i have learned as well. we will have to pay to pick up any packages, and the more expensive the insides have been declared, the more we have to pay -- neat eh?
so, two things are supposed to keep the cost on our end down.
1. mark the package as a GIFT
2. declare the content value as low as possible (not that anyone should be sending us a Rolex!)

as far as i know, that is it!

also, some of you have asked what you can send. well, it's kinda tricky as we are not here for a real long time. the inconveniences of being here for only two months don't give way to extreme need. but, we have noticed a couple things that we can't pick up at the Pick n' Pay in town that would just be nice to have...

Fruity Pebbles
Hot Chocolate
Kraft Mac & Cheese
Nutter Butters
Snyder's Sourdough/flavored Pretzels
Wheat Thins
Reduced Fat CheezIts

as you can see, the bare necessities of life! anyways, just a few ideas for all of you asking.
as always, we are grateful for all the love and support you guys are giving. hopefully we will have a chance to update you soon on more of our adventures here!

but a funny picture in the meantime :)
