We got to skype with my parents so they could watch us open some of the stuff they sent.
He loves Skittles!
And Minecraft.
And this was just a cool shirt and hat that my mom sent.
I asked for books, and she sent this great one about women from the Bible. I'm really enjoying it and the stories stick in you mind and I've be read to read more about these women in the Word. Like, did you know that Boaz's (who married the foreigner Ruth) mother was the prostitute Rahab who hid the spies Joshua sent? And then she chose to live with the Israelites after that. I had never made that connection that probably Boaz's mother being a foreigner grafted into Israel had something to do with his acceptance of Ruth. And all these people are a part of God's story of grace that brings Jesus to us!
I love getting presents!
My mom sent socks of course!
And my friend bought me delicious Oreo chocolate which is truly a treat here. I'm still hiding it in my closet for a rainy day.
To remind her of the squirrels in Oregon.
We love shiny things!
