I packed a little surprise stowaway in Aaron's luggage. Oucan the Toucan was a gift to our children from Liz Jones. She was a worship leader at our church, and had a great heart for missions. She passed away two years ago after succumbing to cancer. I thought Oucan should go with Aaron since we couldn't.
