leslie flies to costa rica

well, we got the phone call we had been so excited to receive.  leslie called us from the airport, very happy and eagerly anticipating going to costa rica.  it was wonderful to hear her voice.  dennis had it all planned.  he sat by the phone browsing the internet and when the phone rang he grabbed it, said' hello sweetheart, we love you', then handed me the phone and went downstairs to pick up the other phone so we could all talk together.  he told me this plan in advance so i wouldn't miss my cue.  everything went just as he wanted it and we got to talk to her for about ten minutes or so.  she borrowed some nice man's cell phone at the airport.  her new mailing address for pouch letters is:
     sister leslie anne fuller
     costa rica san jose mission
     p.o. box 30150
     salt lake city, ut
     84130-0150
     usa

her mailing address for packages is:
     sister leslie anne fuller
     costa rica san jose mission
     de la pops de curridabat 500 mts sur
     oficina isquierera edifico trebol, local # 6
     san jose, costa rica

she says for the pouch you can only send post cards or single sheets that are folded in thirds and taped at the top.  no envelopes.  dearelder.com says you can use that site to send letters that will go in the pouch and they are free.  i guess we can try that and see how it works.
i asked her how her spanish is and she said "bueno"  (at least by mtc standards)  that answer may change when she gets to costa rica.  she sounded happy and excited.  she said she loved the cd we sent her...said it was "probably the best thing ever"  so thanks fauverettes for doing that.  i was going to post some pictures of our winter cooking adventures but i think i'll save it for another day.
