Today I went to the post office (next town over) to send some postcards. Two weeks ago, I tried to send 21 postcards, but they only had 15 stamps to sell me. Today I went with 27 postcards, and they had no stamps. Amazing. The guy told me to come back tomorrow.

Despite the postcard fiasco, I left the post office with a huge smile on my face after receiving a care package from Sierra! She sent along some special treasures for us-- a new book, a movie, dry erase markers, fun stickers, CHOCOLATE, and some delicious-smelling candles. Equally exciting was the big stack of letters she sent for various Puerto Supe friends. I started distributing them tonight, and I feel somewhat like Santa Claus. It's genuinely moving to me to see people's faces instantly light up. I can tell that they feel so honored to be remembered.
