A few days ago our accountant, Doug Collier, arrived here in Liberia. He came bearing a few gifts that some great friends of ours sent us from the States. We are very appreciative of all the people who sent us these supplies. We would also at this time like to thank all the people who have emailed us asking if they can help, or just wishing us luck in all of our doings! Of the things that were sent these have been our favorites:
CANDY- we have all been missing our favorites and can't find anything that comes close to replacing them. We have been trying to ration the candy and gum we received but whenever we eat some it reminds us of home!
Medical supplies- The nurses in the NICU were very grateful for the books that were sent. Dad told us that if it is a slow moving day he will see the nurses looking through them! They were most excited when they each received their very own stethoscope.
BATHING SUITS- Well, a while back, we visited a really nice beach. No garbage, no gross sand and no weird people hanging about. Us girls sat there longing to be in the water, while Luke was the only one able to swim in the basketball shorts he was wearing. Now that we have bathing suits, we can visit nice beaches and go swimming! The downside, the day after they arrived we were struck with bad weather so we're still waiting for a nice day to go swimming.
Once again we would like to extend our thanks to all of our friends and family who follow our blog and send us comments and words of encouragement. We have also appreciated your e-mails and facebook responses letting us know you care about us. We feel blessed to have so many great people in our lives. Thanks again for everything! We Appreciate and love you!
