Gifts

After much thought and prayer, we have decided not to register for wedding gifts. When people are suffering all over the world it seems selfish to ask for more "stuff" for ourselves. Especially when we can easily start a comfortable home with the materials we already own. Therefore, we'd like to encourage you to donate the money- that you would have spent on a gift for us- to a worthy cause/mission project in a third-world country. Our blog facilitates you with several direct links to institutions which we consider worthy of your support.* However, if your preferences lie in other areas, please feel free to do what you wish! We'd love to hear later about which project you chose. Also, if you still have something material which would be meaningful for you to share with us, we'd be happy to receive it. Anything from your grandmother's favorite cookie recipe to your precious collection of pine cones.

*There are also several mission projects we have personally been involved in starting that would appreciate your support. These include a service of food for hungry Argentine street children and a mission radio station in Northern Argentina. Neither of these projects facilitate web access, but may receive donations through a fund in the Frederick Seventh-Day Adventist church (6437 Jefferson Pike, Frederick, MD 21703). Please write checks to either "The Diamante project" or "The Argentine radio project." For further questions, please e-mail us!
