mailing things.

There has been some confusion as to whether or not people in the States can send things to Thailand. As my own mother was confused, I thought I'd post something brief to say-- YES! Yes, you can send anything (apart from guns, explosives, cash, and aerosols, you know, the usual banned items). If you wanted to send a letter or package, my mailing address is:

Attn: John Lapos
Liz Swauger
P.O. Box 832
Bangkok 10501
Thailand

And, just know that it does take a while for things to get here, so if it's a month later and I haven't thanked you or mentioned it-- it's probably just because I haven't gotten it yet. It takes about 2-3 weeks for our mail to reach the US, but I've heard it takes around 1-2 months for US mail to reach here.

So should you find a few moments, I would love to hear from you (in any format, written & mailed or electronic)!

2 weeks.

Today marks the 2 week point until our departure to Thailand for a year! June 11th has seemed so distant for so long, and now it is right around the corner... I need to pack and weigh my bags, move out of my apartment, sort through and consolidate the things that won't be going to Thailand, wrap things up at work... But everything that must be done has been completed! We have our visas, our tickets and paperwork completed (praise God!). So, rain or shine, June 11th we'll at IAD departing to BKK via Heathrow and Singapore. Thank you so much for your prayers and for partnering with me on this journey!
