Care Packages

As it is summer, and as there were many gracious contributions last year, my school supplies are most excellent. (Especially the kids books, Thanks again G&G they are a great teaching aide!) So my list of what I should need/want has once again changed.

Before I get to the new list, I must explain that I have been adopted by the family that shares the compound with me. They feed me, get my water, help me with my ger, and have completely accepted me as one of their own. As I am now "family" it would be a bit of an insult for me to pay them for the meals I eat and such, so I would like to share my care package goods with them in thanks for all they do.

So here is the new list:
"American" food I can prepare for them
Powdered drink mixes!!!!!!!
Candy (hersey kisses, tootsie rolls, etc.)
Balloons (per request from my 2 little sisters)
A basketball (per request my brothers...dont know how this would work but we have an airpump so maybe a deflated one???)
"Real Fat" Cigars (per request my older bro and grandpa, they dont have cigars in mongolia)
A Nerf Vortex football (per request ME!)

Other than that...letters and pictures from home are the best! Random surprises are also great.
