I'm all out of....ideas

So. I need some opinions/suggestions here. Before I leave for Kenya I'm supposed to pick out a few different gifts to bring along. I need gifts for my host missionary family and for any Kenyan nationals that I work with and "befriend," if you will. Any ideas?

They said we could bring things the missionaries can't get in Kenya, like food items, or newer books and whatnot. For the nationals we're supposed to bring multiple little things that we can give to lots of different people, like keychains or something.

But I need some specific ideas. So, if you have any, do share! I could use all the help I can get.

It's a Miracle!!

So I have some exciting news for everyone...I've reached my goal for Kenya!!!! I officially have all the money required to go! How awesome is that!?! I seriously can't believe it. Just a month ago I was only at 40% of my goal. It's amazing how it's all come together so quickly.


For those of you who have donated, I seriously can't thank you enough! (For those who didn't, I still love you :) I had no idea I'd get that kind of response when I sent out my letters. I've had over 70 people donate money so I can do ministry in Nairobi this summer. 70!!!  It really blew me away. I didn't even know I knew that many people! haha But it's awesome to know I'll have so much love and support here in the States when I'm overseas. So thank you so much everyone! Seriously, you have no idea what your generosity means to me. 


I still can't believe I've reached my goal already. I honestly thought at this point in the semester I'd be making mass phone calls and begging and pleading for money from everyone I've ever met. So....thanks for not making me do that :) 


If you haven't donated and still want to help the ministry e-mail me at kelseymcmullen@gmail.com and I can give you a few other ways you can help out!


Thanks so much everyone! You're all amazing and I love you all oh so much!
