 The bags are almost packed.  It's amazing that we are staying within the 50# limit.  I've got two bags full just for Megan, things she can't get there, things her boys need, AND things that we've bought here for the orphanage.  Mostly beads and small toys, deflated soccer balls.  Some supplies for the orphanage.  Doc Hunter gave us toothbrushes and toothpaste in bulk :)

It's winter there so it was somewhat easy to pack our clothes.

We are so grateful for the many donations we have received for our special projects at the orphanage!! Christina asked my cousin Megan if we could buy toys there because she was worried we didn't have enough.  This was Megan's response:
Yes there places to buy toys. You will also see other needs too that you might want to help, for example the kids don’t have couches to sit on, the kids all sit on the floor to watch tv. The school does not have a black board, not all the kids have a bed to sleep in. If you come with the money you will find something to buy here for the kids. Toys are a very western thing. 

 Not worried about spending it now . . .

Hi Michelle ! Hi Christina ! Hope the trip was manageable. I cannot begin to imagine all the packing and the prepartations. It is truely inspiring the journey that you are taking - both for the physical trip and expiriences and for the other things that you will take home with you. I will be thinking of you. And am glad to have been asked to be a part of your cause. I look forward to a 'few' photos Hahaha...Lots of Love from Winnipeg and the Mollot Family.
