Package Suggestions

Following Scott's package suggestion example, here are a few things I would love to receive in a package.

• A letter or note from you!
• Pictures of you and your family
  
• Book suggestions (or a Kindle book gift-card)
  
• CD's with your favorite sermons
• Music CD's that you enjoy
• Small supplies for science experiments (ex: balloons, food coloring, (Elmer's glue and Borax - when combined make a polymer))
• Goldfish
• Pretzels
• Walnuts, Pecans, or Pine Nuts
  
• DVD of a movie you loved
• Flower or herb seeds
• Bandannas (very useful and make great gifts)
  
• UNO cards or other simple games to play with friends
  
• Flavored Coffee (cinnamon, hazelnut, pumpkin spice, etc.)
• Tea bags (mint and pumpkin spice are my favorites, but I love most teas)
  
• Anything non-perishable from Trader Joe's or Elwood Thompson's
  

Of course please also feel free to send anything you think I would enjoy that I didn't suggest!

Note: I will be returning to America in December so anything posted after September probably won't reach me in time, but I'm sure my teammates would enjoy the contents of the package. =)

Please also put anything that could break or spill in a zip-lock bag.

Letters and packages in envelopes instead of boxes will arrive here much faster.

Here are few things I would prefer you did not include, but if you send them I'm sure the rest of the team or my friends in town will enjoy everything.

• Candy or chocolate
• Powder drink mixes
• Books - I have a Kindle, and we have to pay for by weight to get our packages from Uganda to Sudan.
• Very heavy items
• Anything that doesn't do well in heat
