And look what I found on one of the packages.
In case you can't make it out, it says, "Missent to Sydney Australia." And the shipping address even specified that Austria is in Europe.
I'm not going to detail the contents of all of the packages because I want to show you some things later, but I will tell you that Sharkdog was especially excited about the contents of one of the packages. Emily, a friend and former co-worker, and her family sent Brian and me some candy and cookie mixes and other goodies. And they included some goodies for Sharkdog as well.
I'll show you some of the stuff from the other packages later this week or early next week. I promise.
And a special thank you to all of you who have sent encouraging notes or emails or care packages. It's so nice to know that the old adage of "out of sight, out of mind" isn't true. We truly appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and know that you share with us in this ministry.

I'm so glad you're being taken care of by people back in the US and those in Vienna. A big thanks to Brian for rescueing you on the mountain. Read my comment on the Weekend Update blog. Love your blog... and you
I totally understand your post getting sent to Australia. I am an Australian with Japanese in-laws and I FREQUENTLY get mail that does a tour de force via Austria before coming to Australia. I guess they are just well travelled goods....
Nina's Mama - I thought mail for Austria was mis-routed b/c Austria is less-known that Australia. Before I moved to Austria, I told a girl where I was moving and she looked at me and asked, "Australia?" As if I had mispronounced the name of country to which I was moving! But I guess postal workers everywhere get confused.
