Care & Connection/Links
Recently, a mission-passionate friend asked me if we would no longer have the Haun’s as “Links” missionaries since we have received our assignment of the Fraziers as “Links”.  I was pleased to be able to bless him with the assurance that the Hauns will always  be “E TN SENT MISSIONARIES”,  even though our assigned “Links” missionaries will change yearly.  
A “Little Brother” is to Arrive in the Haun Missionary
Family in December!

We are among the districts who are privileged to have sent missionaries from our district, and OUR missionaries are loving the fact that their SENDING district will always love and support them.  If you haven’t watched the beautiful THANK YOU video on the Haun’s August newsletter, here it is!  THANK YOU  It also tells us that the Hauns will have another precious little boy!

I’ve had inquires about sending gifts for the new baby, so I messaged Katie Haun on your behalf.  Here’s her response:   “We are able to purchase furniture items for the baby through deputation (only a crib, changing table, and dresser).  Everything else will be paid for personally.  We will have to purchase a stroller, car seat, high chair, baby bedding, clothes, swing, etc., personally.

ADDRESS & INFORMATION ABOUT MAILING 
With the cost of sending packages to Bulgaria, more could be given financially without calculating in postage, but I also know many like to pick out items & know what they are buying.  Either option is great for us and would be so welcomed…Generally, anything would be nice.  Clothes, baby toiletries, diapers, wipes, swaddles, bibs, burb cloths, etc.  The baby won’t be born until December so 0-3 months should get us through winter months.  If they send packages…the sooner the better is best because it will be a month or two process to get the package released.  The biggest thing is that we will need tracking numbers for anything that’s sent so we can actually receive the package. “
Sending monetary gift:  DO NOT SEND TO JOHN BUTLER, BUT FOLLOW GUIDELINES BELOW:
