Care Package List

Some of you guys have asked what kind of stuff we would like if some one were to send a package. Anything of course would be appreciated but some things are more "practical" then others. Here is a list i put together with some things i thought of over the MONTH!

-Stain Remover Stick (not pen)
-Baby Wipes
-Cleaning wipes
-Instant rice sides, noodles, dinner packs (like hamburger helper- ish)," home style mac and cheese"
-rice ( jasmine, arborio, etc )

-cookie, brownie,cake, muffin mix
-salad dressing mix
-chocolate chips, toffee, pecans, walnuts, etc. (for baking)
-Cereal
-Drink mix (juice is $8 here!!! ex: kool aid, crystal light, etc)
-Mayonaise (in plastic jar, regular or light)
-Paper towels
-Kids sunscreen (50+)
-Off Bug Repellant
-Crafts for the kids
-Toys for the kids
-DVD's (used would be great, too: happy feet, the little mermaid, beauty & the beast, mickey mouse clubhouse, Blues Clues, anything really…. and maybe a movie for us? we haven't seen anything since Wolverine: X man, so we are behind the times!)
-Tupperware**** all sizes. we have to put EVERYTHING in GOOD quality, air tight tupperware to keep things from bugs. even the dollar store shoebox ones are good for putting our clothes in.
-Pillows (they mold)
-Kids/Family board games (we have none so anything works, used is good or check yard sales) --Cards/Stationary-i enjoying writing notes to people
-Jar Candles (the power goes out all the time and i only have 2 small candles. i love citrus smells, tropical fruity stuff)
-Body soap bars
-Anti bacterial hand soap
-Magazines- don't judge me but i love me some People and US Weekly, etc. I'm from California, it's part of my heritage!
-Paper plates- you have seen the pictures of my daily dishes, it would mix things up. ****Pictures of your family! We would love to show the kids who you are and to pray for you as a family.***


Hopefully that list gives you an idea of some things that would be helpful. Thank you for thinking of us. It makes our family feel like we are still connected even when we are in the furthest place possible from you. (isn't that crazy-the exact opposite side of the world)

The best way to send things are with the international Flat Rate box. Be sure you document what is in the box on the customs form.

Our New Home Address is:
PO Box 625
