This is the kinda of news you don't want to hear when your only communication with the guy you love is in the hands of the postal service. We all know Brazil has one of the worst mailing systems ever, but as of yesterday, 23 regions equaling 85% of postal workers decided to go on strike, demanding higher wages and more employees to eleveate workplace load. This could last up to 3 months!!!! Today they accomplished nothing in the courtroom. AH! Can't a girl just send her missionary a letter or a package? Mackenzie is also leaving the CTM this coming week and heading to Goiania, so I can no longer take advantage of MissionTies walking my letters to him across the street. I could still use MissionTies, but they would mail the letter to his area, which normally would be faster and more convienient, but when they stop all mailing systems, this doesn't help much. Thanks to my new best friend, Gloria, fellow missionary girlfriend (with boyfriend serving in Brazil as well) I understand everything happens for a reason and I need to pray for comfort instead of being upset at the Brazil postage system employees. Haha.
I hope any other families or missionary girlfriends with boys in Brazil pray for this comfort and yes, everything does happen for a reason. Let's all just hope this strike ends soon so we can send our letters and packages.
WE LOVE YOU BRAZIL, please continuing mailing our precious letters & get back to work!
