Some folks have asked if we can receive mail. The answer is..YES!!! It doesn't come to our apartment, rather it goes to a post office box. None of the houses have street addresses near us. I am not sure if this is the case for all of Nairobi, or just for our area. Seems like most places have PO boxes as the normal route of receiving mail. We'd love to hear from you! And we promise to write back. I think it takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive here from the states.
Here goes...
Lane & Anna Mears
P.O. Box 25743
Nairobi 00603

A few notes on sending mail to us...take off any price tags. Don't send cash, it won't get to us. Evidently, if you write "God bless you" or words like it, it is more likely to arrive. And don't talk politics or say anything about the Kenyan government. When I hear more tips on sending mail, I'll post those as well.
My mom just found out it costs about $0.98 to send a small letter to us. And so I went to our post office for the first time and found out it costs about the same for us to send a letter to the states.cool!
