You don't have to put "flat" either, since some of the mail comes with just the 2.
We can receive large envelopes and packages at our flat now. It costs, in American dollars, around $1.50 to mail a simple letter from here. The cost for a letter jumped from 90 pence to 97 pence this week. Postage is just way to high to try sending items. If anyone does decide to blow their week's paycheck, be sure to send items via regular mail because of the huge tax on something coming in through FedEx. A package can cost another $200 just to pick it up!
I don't think we'll be sending Christmas cards except through e-mail this year. We wanted to be sure you knew this in time, since December is eight months away. Letters seem to be taking around five to six days to arrive. Packages can be two weeks or more.

Our Mission Scriptures
Our Mission Scriptures:
"Oh, that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart . . . Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth." Alma 29:1-2 (Book of Mormon)
" . . . be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:58 (Bible)
