How Exciting!!


Wow guess what?? The other day we're all inside and I heard hollaring. We looked around and realized that it was our neighbor. Apparently the postman delivered a package from the states to her house and it was for us.

We were so excited to find out our very good friends, the Brantleys from N. Carolina had sent us a care package. The Brantleys are members of one of our favorite churches in NC, Grace Baptist, Pastor Wes Bailey. Anyhow wasn't it so sweet or what? They sent: two packs of every missionary's secret desire, Oreos, a billion or so packs of Kool-aid, enough taco seasoning to start our own restaurant, two packs of Cilantro seeds (for hot salsa), a huge container of Ranch dressing mix, several great preaching CDs, 3 boxes of every missionary childs secret desire, Pop Tarts, and enough season to last me a life time. What a wonderful treat from a family who mean alot to us.

Thanks Bro. Shane, Teresa, and kids!

We love you guys!

  12. Even tho I am here in th US right now...that picture made me so excited!!!!
    One time we had a package sent of m and m's and taco seasoning. It spent 6 months in customs and when we finally got the package, the M and M's were chili flavored!
    And we ate every last one!!!

  15. where is this in NC? I have a friend in NC (Hannah) who goes to a Grace Baptist Church and her FIL (the preacher) has the last name Bailey. Wouldn't that be weird if it were the same church?
