Care packages

As missionaries, far away from things like Pop Tarts, Butterfingers, Reeses, Hanes, Christian novels in English, and Plastic sippy cup inserts, having boxes of such items arrive at our home makes for A LOT of excitement! Lately, we have received a few care packages and we wanted to show you all how blessed we are to have individuals and supporting churches who take such wonderful care of us! Now each of us have our Ziploc baggies filled with our personal share of the loot to consume (and thrill their tastebuds) at will. A package from an Indiana supporting church youth group! A package from New York friends. We can get Oreos and Ziplocs here but the former Adeline can't eat and the latter are too expensive here.This is a package from individuals in a Michigan supporting church that were supposed to come to Montevideo. Their travel plans changed at the last minute but they still sent this to us.

All of these packages represent a sacrifice - of time and money (especially) - and we want all those who have been so generous with us to know that we are thankful!!! Isn't it a testimony for the Lord that inspite of an economic crisis they are still looking to be a blessing to us?!?! We think so!!!
