We are off to Africa in a couple hours. This is a picture of the stuff Coca Cola donated for me to take to the Orphans at the Care Points. Coke pencils are the best! Have you ever used a Coke Pencil? They ruin you for all other pencils! Coke donated a couple hundred of them and also these really cool lunch bag/cooler things that are Olympic themed and even have the Ethiopia Coke can on them (our son "A", that we are in the process of adopting, is in Ethiopia so this is really special to us) and also three new Coke T-shirts that are really cool.Dan told us that to people in Swaziland like Coke hats, shirts, stuff like that, even used ones, so I am bringing a few of my old hats. I figured I could give them away or use them to barter with.
I think it's so cool that Coca Cola donated all that stuff.
This is a hat just like the one we sent to "A" last month. I got one to wear on this trip to Africa. I know he is in Ethiopia and we are going to Swaziland but it's still closer to where he is so it's like Carole said on her blog, It's like a connection, a hat tied to our son in an Orphanage in Ethiopia Africa - tied to a dad on a missions trip in Swaziland Africa.

Hey guys!!! I hope yall made it safely and are already turning Africa upside down with Christ's love! Saturate classes were entirely too quiet today...we miss all of you so much and can't wait to hear about all of the ways that yall are being Christ's hands and feet over there. Keep it lit, serve boldly, and know that we're lifting you up in prayer.

FYI: You do know that the largest export of Swaziland is a softdrink concentrate made up of the local sugarcane, and guess who has the largest plant in Swaziland???? Yup, Coca-Cola! They practically fund the country.
Maybe that is why they like coca-cola!
