Wish List

If you feel so inclined to send me a care package, here’s my brand spankin’ new address:
Sister Melissa A. Denton
P.O. Box 165
Butare, Rwanda

It never hurts to add a few Jesus stickers, too, by the way. (Less likely to be searched in customs.)

Misc.
– Amazon Gift Cards (Don’t even need to send a care package for this!)

Fun Stuff:
– Handwritten letters/cards/notes (I love these! Guaranteed to make me cry tears of joy.)

– Anything to remind me of home/family/friends (Both Lake County and Davis!)

FOOD!:
– Granola

– Chex Mix/Cheez-Its/Etc.
– Any kind of just-add-water (or milk) meals (i.e. pasta pouches, mac and cheese boxes, etc.)
