A Letter from Iraq

A few weeks ago I mentioned the kids at church assembled care packages for soldiers in Iraq. We followed the instructions and found addresses on www.anysoldier.com. This week I received a response from SPC Samantha. She thanked us for the packages, mentioned especially the candy and book sent for her, and a stuffed toy to be given to an Iraqi child. She ended with: "The country could use a lot of work and repair, but we are trying to help them do that." Let me encourage you all again to send out a care package or two yourself. The website tells you what to send, where to send it, and how to send it. The worst part of it is filling out the postal forms (the website tells you how to do that, too).
