Our Mom is the Bomb Dot Com!!!

We've realized we brag on our mom to about everyone in person, but we seriously need to give her kudos on here as well!  Since we left the U.S. we have seen her servant heart blossom like no other!  Seriously, this woman was made to be a missionary mom - so here's where we we give you a sneak peak into how she has spoiled us rotten, loved us unconditionally, and given us such encouragement to persevere!

1) When we left she drove 5 hours over to the airport, only got 3 hours of sleep then got us up for our early departure (and she looked stunning the whole time)!  Little did we know that during the night she managed to slip 4 cards into our carry-on and luggage.  We found two on the plane and cried like babies, and then again once we were in our new home in Tanzania as we unpacked our belongings.  She encouraged us with Scripture and love - it was perfect.

2) Then came our very first day in town and we went to the post office with our teammate only to discover a letter from our mom!!  She sent it the day we left and enclosed a packet of Ranch Dressing mix (Megan's favorite) and some taco seasoning - it was fantastic!  Once we told her it made it through, there was no stopping her, the cards and seasoning packets just kept on coming!

3)  She constantly checks-in with us and offers help in even some of the most ridiculous ways - for example: our team leader was coming back to TZ from furlough in the U.S. for a few weeks and she literally offered to pay for him to bring a bag full of extra stuff just in case we wanted anything (to which we replied we had only been in country for two months....so probably not).

4)  Then came the month of December which takes the cake for being Best Mom Ever!  Mary Moss sent us a card for every day of the month!  Only two didn't make it through, which means we had 29 cards stuffed full with awesome goodies she sent our way + all the awesome notes she wrote inside.  Icing on the cake - she tried sending the first package (which was discouraged previously because our team has had terrible trouble getting packages from the post office) AND IT ARRIVED, perfectly intact, the weekend before Christmas!!

Gifts she managed to stuff in the letters - bookmarks, stickers with Scripture,
and crosses with verses to give others here with words of encouragement

AND OUR FAVORITE - spice packets & Orbit gum

Bookmarks, cards with verses AND Fannie Mae Fudge she makes every year!

Our month of December :)

I love you...and I'm not lion!

And our favorite card

After a month of fantastic gifts, she continues to shower us with her love & cereal :)

So as a tribute to the BEST MOM EVER...we want to say thank you and brag on how our mom is the bomb dot com!!!
