  21. :) My husband and I are both missionary kids, and I have to say, we both loved it. (Not all of it, but most of it.) Growing up knowing firsthand about God's provision, living in another culture, and having our family be so much our primary source of people interaction made for one amazing childhood. I'm so glad to be an MK, and I bet your kids are loving it too. :)

    And great contest! please count me in!

    peace of Christ to you,
