Last year our Operation Christmas Child boxes went to Madagascar and Zambia, this year they went to Belize and Equador! Very cool!

We packed our boxes today, have you?

Operation Christmas Child 2010

It's not everyday we get mail from Mali

This past Christmas we participated in Operation Christmas Child as we have in years past, it's a wonderful program and we enjoy doing it. (To read more about that program click here.)As we pack the shoe boxes we always wonder where they go, and this year Samaritan Purse offered tracking for the shoe boxes, which was very cool, as I blogged about here. Today a letter from a recipient arrived in our mail box from a 10 year old girl in Mali! The kids and I are thrilled!!! What a beautiful young lady! We never expect to hear from the recipients, we just put a letter to the child in the shoebox to tell a little about us and sometimes they write back, it's a beautiful thing, life changing!

Update on Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes

Just wanted to share that our Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes were delivered to Madagascar and Zambia! This was the first year that Samaritans Purse did the tracking on them and I really enjoyed it as we pack these shoe boxes with love and always wonder where they go, well this year we know! I think it's great! One year my son got a letter and a picture back from the recipient, talk about a little boy being over the moon!
