Operation Christmas Child

Dear Potential Deliverers of Christmas Cheer:

Here are some things that you should know for the trip:

1. You need a passport--obviously!
2. There will be a $100 deposit and application due as soon as possible. (By this weekend). If you have not gotten an EMAIL, send me your address via facebook, text, or otherwise and I will send you the attachments.
3. Flights are filling up and getting very expensive very fast. We need to buy our tickets soon--it's possible by next weekend... (from last Friday to this Monday tickets for Christmas week went up by $500!). I'll give you more info in the email.
4. Once we get plane tickets we will be able to start working on our visas. For your visas you will need a yellow fever shot, and a passport size picture. List price for the visa is $135, I think if we get the correct paperwork from the missionary we can get them for FREE! So pray about this too! (Speaking of shots...it would probably be a good idea to go to a travel clinic and make sure you have everything you need. I think they will recommend tetanus, hep A and B? and yellow fever. They will probably try to give you malaria meds too, but you can talk to me if you have doubts or questions...)
5. You also might want to stock up on some necessary things for the trip:

flashlight
acidophilus
big suitcases
sunblock
warm clothes for evenings/mornings in the mountains
etc...

I'll send you a more complete list later on.

Hmm, that's all I can think of now. I'll introduce you to the missionaries next time and give you a brief introduction of the area and kiddos.

Let me know if you have any questions!
