I can't believe how fast the year has gone. I was thinking about our Christmas last year with family and in retrospect, I don't think I realized that this year we would be spending Christmas in another country. As can be imagined, there are mixed emotions about not being with family, and missing out on all the family traditions that come with the season. But He has blessed us with extended brothers and sisters while we are away. With each new Christmas we will remember past seasons and start new family traditions of our own. We are very grateful for His provision for us, our health, and ability to serve Him here.
Some folks have asked us if they can send us anything (supplies, Christmas gifts, etc) this was kind of hard for us to think about when we first got here, but as the days go by, we have come up with a list. Because of where we live, and all the regulations with shipping, we cannot give out the shipping address. Everything will need to be mailed to our parents, and then they can ship it to us. Please don't feel like you need to do anything, because we know its expensive!
Ship to:
Cunningham
14064 Jennifer Terrace
Largo, FL 33774
Below is a link for the USPS flat rate shipping packages. So if you want to send us something (especially after you see how much it costs) please include a check for the amount inside the box mailed to our parents.
