And They Came Bearing Gifts…

Before Jason & Kathy came to visit, we sent them a list of items that we were missing from the states (mainly food!) so they could bring a few of each of them to us.  We’ll, little did we know that they had involved our church in Kansas City, so we ended up with a suitcase (also donated) full of goodies!  Just a few items on the list:  mechanical pencils, pinto beans (believe it or not, they don’t have them here and they are a must for charro beans!), spices, chocolate baking chips (too expensive here!), chocolate pudding, Hershey’s cocoa, and Gates BBQ sauce!  In addition to Antioch’s gifts, some of our good friends from Scott’s former church in Cincinnati sent us some pecans, rechargeable batteries, blank CD’s, a rain jacket for Scott and of course, more chocolate!!  It was a pleasant surprise and a wonderful blessing!
