Day 6: Snail Mail

Today I am thankful for:
Snail Mail


What can I say... I'm old fashioned when it comes to my love for hand-written letters and cards! My love for them has been amplified even more since being over here. It's just such a fun way to connect with people, and feels so personal and special. Today we traveled into town and made a stop at the posta-bate (post office). Using my broken amharic I asked the guy if there was any mail in our box and sure enough he brings some out. I frequent the place mailing cards and letters to the states so they know me by name. I guess that's my claim to fame around here. A card, a letter, and a package. (S/O to Rachel, Melita, and my grandparents). Made my day as it always does. 

Thankful today for the Soddo post office and for the mail that finds its way into my hands!
