Did you notice at the bottom of our emails where the mailing address is listed… we wrote “letters only (packages probably won’t make it)”?<\/p>\n

Well even a letter in a big envelope packed full and a bit heavier than usual was too great a temptation for someone working in the postal system.\u00a0 Granted, the envelope was a bit worn around the edges even in the unopened spots.\u00a0 But it had clearly been ripped open and contents emptied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is what an envelope came through the mail like<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recently we Covenant missionaries received mailings from our home office in Chicago.\u00a0 I’m guessing they had contained the January copy of the Covenant Companion<\/a>, a Covenant date book and directory of Covenant churches, a Friends of World Mission <\/a>newsletter, and hopefully nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
One of the Covenant envelopes opened just enough to pull out anything interesting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our mail is picked up at the post office by someone in Wycliffe, and brought to their administration office nearby where we pick it up in our mailbox.\u00a0 This time, placed in the mailbox\u00a0labeled “Evangelical Covenant”\u00a0there were a few open\u00a0envelopes, and anything listed above (since it says “Covenant” on it).\u00a0 Actually I was surprised that not more of the date books were missing… but I do wonder if there were any Christmas cards taken by someone hoping for gifts of money inside.<\/p>\n

So, please do not send us anything really valuable in the mail.\u00a0 We may not get it.\u00a0 And to Covenant office staff, keep the Companions coming by mail.\u00a0 When it’s only a magazine, they come through.\u00a0 I guess the thick envelopes were just too tempting!<\/p>\n
