Morgan Mail Update

We have moved into our new office and appreciate how you have been addressing the mail to the new address. This really helps the post office and us. We have another favor we need from you. Yesterday when the mail arrived, there was a total of $9.40 postage due on the mail that day. We don’t have a petty cash fund here in the office, so it comes out of our personal wallets. I don’t mind 15¢ here and there occasionally, but $1.05 for three different letters, plus postage due on packages, starts to add up. We are finding that if anything is put into an envelope besides paper, the post office automatically adds $1.05 postage due, whether it weighs more or not…..it becomes bulky and that makes it a “package.” So if gum, or suckers, or whatever is being put with the letters makes it bulky, the price increases. Who knew?! Also, packages that are mailed parcel post have an extra fee due upon arrival. Another surprise!! So, please, please, please only send packages PRIORITY MAIL. Also, if packages are sent FED EX or UPS, I cannot forward those to the missionary. That means the missionary has to wait for someone to be going to their area to take the package, and that may be a week or more delay in their receiving what is sent.

Could you help us out by telling friends and other family members who write your missionary what we are facing here in the office. Mail is sooo important to the missionaries and we want them to receive it ASAP after it arrives here in the office. If we continue to receive the postage due on letters, we will have to refuse them and have them returned to the sender. That would make us all sad. Thank you so much for your help. Thank you also, for sending your wonderful son or daughter to us. We love them and appreciate their service and your support.
