Sean and I just finished a very fun but also a very tiring week working with the U.S. embassy's "English Language and Culture Immersion Program" and arrived home to find a heavy care package from my college roommate and family. What an awesome surprise and perfect timing!
The care package was stuffed completely full of candy, granola bars, baking mixes and other luxurious snack foods impossible to find here. Honestly, I can't believe how much they managed to stuff in one of the international postal boxes. It is going to make a lot of people happy as we are going to share some of the American goodies with our students and friends. It came at just the right time too as we leave again tomorrow to help with an English Without Borders program in a neighboring state and have a lot of long and empty hours of travel before us.
Mary and Jay have consistently and generously spoiled us while abroad and we always appreciate it! This past year, her brother in law started a program called "I Like Giving" and wrote a book with the same name. The whole family encourages living generously and giving in new, unexpected and joyful ways. It's true that being given something makes us want to give too and now we're thinking of ways to pass the giving on. Thanks for thinking of us and going through all the paperwork to send some treats internationally!
