Thank you

We have the best friends! And family! Typically after a year of service, mail and packages tend to slow down but you guys continue to remind us that we are missed.

Amy, you did a great job finding some clothes for me. Now that the cold has settled back in, I am making great use of the pants you sent. And the white tee was a great replacement for the one I ruined in the wash. Handwashing is harder on clothes than I thought. The oreo cheesecake was a great addition. I think we are saving it as a wedding anniversary celebration =) Lucas loves the UFC magazine.

My school teachers and I thank you so much for all the teaching aids you sent. We are so blessed to have such warm hearted people living in America who feel the need to give. Contents included but weren’t by far limited to: flash cards both math and English, math brain teasers, word matching games, phonetic word games, consonant wheels, phonic rummy, reading readiness, alphabet stickers, puzzles, sudoku, 25 clocks, Bingo and much more… Many of the good stuff is being used in the classroom by teachers. Again thanks.

Another amazing box from the Bryson family. You guys are too nice. The sesame honey cashews are crazy good (chewing them now! Almost gone) The cookie and brownie mixes are getting saved for a special day, yum. Instant potatoes are always a quick delicious treat, and the candy never gets old. My favorite was the MMA magazine.



Katie and Joe Cygan
Thanks again for the package. Lucas is so excited to use the USA medal. I got such a crack out of you sending matches. They’re great. We have to light our oven and stove manually so we do actually go through quite a bit of them. It was so good to get updated on how you and Joe are doing. I hope Joe had a good time in Canada. We love the Olympic add of the packs of gum you sent. Headbands are great too. The seasonings are always appreciated! And now that the dry season is here, I never leave the house without RE/MAX lip balm.

Chris and Cameron Ross
Thanks so much, once again, for the package. I’m so excited to use the tahini. I’m gonna try and make falafels and hummus. The vitamins are greatly appreciated. I was surprised how fast we went through the last jar. But when we’re traveling on khombis and buses for several hours, it’s a life saver. You sent great seasonings. I think I will use the hollandaise sauce to make eggs benedict for Lucas’ birthday. The Easter candy, PB/honey/almond butter packets, and mushrooms are a fun addition to our meal planning too. And how did you know I wanted sun-dried tomatos?!?
