Best Care Package/X-mas present ever!!

Thank you for making me feel loved even on the other side of the world. I'm blessed to have such great friends like you guys!
Words can't describe enough how thankful, happy, loved, blessed, excited, and [insert all synonyms here] I feel!!!! :) I can't thank you enough either! This is the first Christmas that I'm away from friends and family at home. No overplayed Christmas songs, Christmas shopping, and Christmas decorations made me a little bit homesick. This care package couldn't have come at a better time. It is seriously a treasure box! I'm deeply touched that so many of you pitched in to send me this care package. BEST PRESENT EVER!! :) 

After 30min walking in the pouring rain to get to the post office before it closes
Anthony, Candice, Caroline, Dang, Duong, Hien, John, Kevin, Lisa, Michael, Minh, Nguyen, and Tina: Thank you for the monetary contributions!! It is ridiculously expensive to send mail to here, especially a 46lb box.

Catherine: Thank you for the beef jerky!! It was so yummy! I already finished a bag during my traveling journey across Moz. It saved me and my friends when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no food.

Christine: Thank you for the ramen and hi-chews!! I haven't had mi mama for years!! Reminds me of my childhood when I used to crush the noodles and eat it raw.

Dina, Rosa, & Thuy: Thank you for the candle, foot cream, lotions (x) and shampoo (x)!! I get frequent black out so the scented candle will make it much more enjoyable. It is way to hot to wear shoes and I walk around a lot so the foot cream is a life savor to my cracked n dry heels!

Jenny & Wilson: Thank you for the fiber protein bars and scrapbook (x)!! I normally don't have time to cook breakfast or lunch because of work but now I won't starve and it will be a nice switch from just eating bread :)

Katie: Thank you for the strings, cat foods/toys, hand sanitizers, coloring books, hair ties, and antibacterial wipes!! I will make you the 5 strands braid bracelet that you like :) My cat will be so happy! I can't wait to color with the children too. They're going to be so excited!

Katie's aunt & uncle: Thank you for the shampoo & conditioner (x), face wash, and chapsticks!! You guys are so kind and generous to buy these for me even though I'm a stranger! I'd love to meet you guys when I come back!

Quynh: Thank you for the multi vitamins and all the water mixes!! There's not a lot of variety of food here but I can get all the needed vitamins now :) Filtered water doesn't taste good and I drink a lotttt of water everyday so now it can be a lot more tasty!

Ruth: Thank you for the flip flop, hair dye, nutella, raisins and twisters! I can't wait to get rid of my ombré and dye my hair and stand out even more in town lol Can't wait to bake cakes with nutella and raisins too!

Vicky: Thank you for all the Starbucks!! You are a life savor! You have no idea how addicted I am hahah

Katie & Kimly: Ahh a billion thank you!!! for taking the time to plan, organize, and put this all together!!! Thank you for buying the rest of the goodies too! I love you guys!! 

(x)- Sorry there wasn't room to put it in the box but I'm still very thankful for it! The box was completely filled. Katie did a good job at wasting no space :)

I hope I didn't miss anyone (blame it on Katie and Kimly if I did since I got the list from them haha). The box got a bit wet since my friend's house got flooded from the pouring rain so I had time to open the box and transfer everything to my big plastic bag before I left for my trip. Thank you everyone again for everything!! My first bite of chocolate and sour patch kids was AMAZING! I can't wait to eat the rest and share them with my coworkers and neighbors. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! FELIZ NATAL A TODOS!

I wish I took better pictures, there are a lot more stuff buried underneath! :)
