Package

We love getting mail and today we had another fun mail day! May 26 we received 3 packages. We were so excited- can you tell? They were mailed at different times: January 14, February 6, and March 17. It's funny that they all came on the same day.
We got stickers, candy, books, stamps and more. Some of it was geared for Valentine's Day and Easter, but we enjoyed it just the same. :)
Thanks to Cut Bank Community Bible Church (especially Lowell and Bonnie), Paul & Doris, and Sarah for the mail.
After receiving those packages, we didn't get anymore mail until yesterday. On Thursday Stephen received a slip saying that we had a package at the post office. The kids and I went to pick it up today. They had mail for some of the other missionaries as well, so we got to deliver it. It's fun to see the excitement on everyone's faces when they find out they have mail.
We received a card my mom mailed in December, and a package she mailed July 3. It's crazy the way different things take different amounts of time. Sometimes the same person can mail things weeks apart, and we will get the second thing first. It's just another way that life here stays interesting.
Ian also got a small package from the Orts, and all the kids had a card from their cousins Jack and Joy Beth.
Thanks so much everyone for helping to make our day special!

Mail Time!

We got a package from the Alliance Women in Baltimore. It made us feel really special.
The kids were super excited to open it up and see what was inside. (OK, I was pretty excited, too.)

There were birthday cards for the boys and myself, and Valentines Day cards for all of us. The `cards were all personalized with something we would like. Isabelle's card had felt flowers that she could take off and use, and Caleb's had some animals to color. (Thanks, Megan!)
There were lots of stickers and candy, which we are slowly enjoying. (We have to make it last.)
The package took about 3 months to get to us, but it was in good condition and all of the candy was good. If you have letters or packages on the way, I will be sure to let you know when they arrive. Things have been slow because of problems with the planes here, but that makes things that do come greatly appreciated.
