Wedding Gift Giving Ideas

As many of you are aware, we will be moving back to Papua New Guinea. Because of that, shipping gifts can get very expensive (sometimes more than double the cost of the gift). With that in mind, we are asking that those who want to give, please give in one of the following ways:

-- go to www.ntm.org/give and give through our mission. Please make a note that this is a wedding gift.

-- gift cards.
Some places we prefer:
Target
amazon.com
Ikea
Bath & Body Works,
Bed, Bath & Beyond
Kohl's
iTunes

-- You can also send your gifts to us at:
Paul & Andrea
c/o Patty Schappet
4913 Dower Drive
LaPlata, MD 20646
United States

Items we are saving up for:

* Airplane tickets back to Papua New Guinea ($4,000)
* Home improvements needed back in Papua New Guinea ($900)
* Queen size mattress & shipping charges to Papua New Guinea ($800)
* Lodging for Family Life Marriage Conference ($600)
* Andrea's passport renewal and visa transfer ($150)
* Hiking boots ($120)

If you are interested in giving towards any of the above, please let us know...either leave us a comment or drop us an e-mail at alannunzi1@gmail.com.

NTM Surprise Bridal Shower



It started out as a typical Saturday. I spent the day on and off with Paul and visiting with other friends. What I didn't know was that Paul was tasked with keeping me busy. :-)

Just after 7 we headed to the New Tribes Mission - Aviation dessert night (AKA: my surprise bridal shower). And boy, was I surprised.



Ladies from all over our center (and even from other locations) came together to help me celebrate my up and coming wedding. We had a few silly games (thanks to Susan Shortmeier), teary moments (thanks to Stacy Jex) and of course lots of yummy desserts.



It really was a special evening. I want to send out a big thanks to all the dear ladies here in PNG. Thanks for all your love & support!
