Allison! I just received the package you sent me today and it was super incredible! And I just want everyone to know how much I love and appreciate the Littlefield's!
For everyone else reading this blog let me just explain something. This past summer I worked at Camp Fair Haven in Brooks, Maine and on most weekends we would stay with Kurty's cousin Al, her husband Cliff, and their boys Tommy and Luke. This family is so much fun and I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to stay with them. They were so generous to open up their home to the three (Kirk being the third) of us counselors and let us terrorize their kids and their home. Little Tommy was a blast to play with and brought me so much joy.
Inside the package were wonderful things like coffee singles, tea, and chocolate, but the best part about the whole thing was the letter, picture, and present from Tommy. Al sent me a little race car in the package for my host brother Enoch. In the letter she followed it up with making sure I didn't give it to him "if he still puts stuff in his mouth- the wheels are small." You are so great Nurse Alison! Don't worry he's past that stage so the car is perfect! The second great thing about it was the picture of Tommy and Luke in their matching Carhart overalls. I can hear the collective "ahhh" from across cyberspace :). It made me miss you guys a lot! The final thing in the package that made my week was a present from Tommy. He sent me a piece of his most prized possession, (maybe after his peter pan outfit) his blanky! Talk about melting my heart! It definitely made me tear up and want to fly out as soon as possible to see that little monster! It was probably one of the coolest things I've ever received. Al, please tell Tommy I say thank you so much and give him a hug and tell him I'm excited to see him again and play with him. Thanks to you too. The package was great.
This also makes me want to thank all of you for the letters, emails, messages, packages, and especially prayers. I am so appreciative of the prayers especially. It's something that I've been realizing more and more how much prayer can connect us as the body of Christ. It's some powerful stuff. So thank you all for your prayers and for going to battle for me as I live life out here. I wish I repay you all for that incredible service so thanks. I love you guys!
Oh and Al, Kurty's has not quite come yet so don't worry she will rejoice probably louder than I soon! And if you didn't send her one because you like me better :) I'll help convince her it just got lost in the mail!
