I think any missionary would say that care packages from home are some of the high points of living overseas. They come at unexpected times, from unexpected sources, and that's some of the fun.
My friends at the NMI office where I worked for 3 years before we moved abroad surprised us with a fantastic package on Halloween. It was filled with fun candy, fun objects (handmade bookmarks, a coffee mug, a hand-crafted scarf, etc.) and some of our favorite things that we can't get here, including canned pumpkin, Starbucks coffee, cream cheese frosting, chocolate chips and American brown sugar for baking.
Let the fall baking (and eating) commence!
Thanks, NMI friends!!!
Other awesome care packages have had fireplace-scented incense, peanut butter cream Oreos, white chocolate chips, Progresso seasoned bread crumbs and more cake frosting, to name a few things.
You all are the best. :-)
