Helloooo Everyone. I am just writing another quick note (I promise to blog a few more details or insight within the next day or two). I noticed my sister added a comment about sending me packages for Christmas and here are my thoughts on that (well actually they are Christie’s….I stole them) packages are always awesome and fun to recieve but….
We need to be cautious about how many packages we receive. If every world racer gets 2 packages, that will be over 100 packages in one P.O. Box. A little much. So I was reading some of my fellow racer’s blogs, and Mark had a good point. If you did want to send a package, you might want to consider an alternative. The cost of sending a package will usually run about $20-$40. This money can go a lot further than just on packing. Here are some alternatives. One, I still need more financial support to finish out the year. You can donate to that cause by clicking on Support Me! on the upper left of this page. Two, I need to have $150-$200 to visit the Great Wall, so if you want to donate to that cause, send money to my mom and she can put it in my checking account. Three, if you just want to donate any money at all, I can buy a lot more goodies/neccesities here rather than wasting it on the mail. And four, I would always love getting a card, and you can send as many of those as you would like! Thank you SO much!!!!
Another side note….I was just interupted while writing this blog because just about the entire International Cares Staff (the ministry organization that we are partnering with this month) showed up at our door at 12am sharp with flowers and balloons to serinade Haley for her birthday!!! It was so amazing I started to tear up. They finished their series of about I’d say 7 to 8 songs with prayer over her. Priceless. The hearts of the people here amaze me. We just met them 3 days ago and already they are treating us as one of their own. We are so blessed!
Lord Jesus thank you! I can’t stop smiling and its all because of you!!
