UNBELIEVABLE!


Question for ya:
If you were to receive a 38 pound (that's about 19 kilos) box on your doorstep from someone you'd never met before, would you open it?
Would ya?


We Did!



And boy, was it FUN!




Do you remember our Pop Tart post a few weeks back?  Someone thought we needed some Pop Tarts for the kids...




In every imaginable flavor...




I'm not exaggerating, people.
See for yourself.



And that wasn't all that was in the box...



There were treats for the whole family...



Special treats just for Daddy...
yes, he's a Reese's peanut butter cup kinda guy...




And for Mommy, too...
better laya finger offa my butterfinger!



And what's this? 
MORE???




Brownie mix?!



And 2 huge boxes of microwave popcorn?
And bunch of other stuff too?
Really?
From someone we've never met face to face?
Come on!
I don't believe it!




Well folks, seeing is believing.
Take a look at this comment we got on our Pop Tart post:

 I just saw your name on some other posts that I follow...small world...I LOVE WHAT YOU DO! I was an MK (Missionary Kid) and I LOVED when we rec'd packages from the US filled with things we couldn't get overseas...such as (at the time) banana bikes (you're probably too young to know what those are, but one time we rec'd a HUGE box of them, so big that my sister strung all the wrappers around her room and made her room look like sunshine). My kids LOVE to send packages of things I don't let them eat, lol, to MK's around the world, bc they know the MK's deserve them, lol! So...please, send me your address, so we can send you a box of the ooeiest, gooiest, yummiest, cheapest (lol), boxes of poptarts in the world!!!!! Your kids will love them and they deserve them :)))Please, add a list of anything...and I mean, ANYTHING, that you and your hubby would like in that box, as well :)))

Notice she wanted to send us treats, too. We were NOT going to tell her what our favorite treats were, but when I 'forgot' to mention it in my emails back to her she wouldn't let it go.  So we gave her a few IDEAS.  Can you believe that someone did this for us?

JIM, ROBIN, TREY & ALLY:
You guys are amazing!
Thank you for your great love in a huge, big box sort of tangible way. We will never forget your thoughtfulness and generosity. 

(We are now friends over email and Robin is an amazing woman of prayer that is praying for us constantly.  We are astounded at how God brings His people together...)
