Containers

We are traveling this week. Today (Saturday) and Sunday we are visiting our daughter in Tulsa. Sunday afternoon we will head for Searcy to see David's parents. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday we're going to southwest Missouri to spend some time with my sister and with friends in Mt. Vernon and Monett.

We got word yesterday that the two containers on which we had sent our household goods and teaching supplies have now arrived at Namwianga Mission. This was a great relief to us, since one of the containers (think 40-feet long box car) had been "lost" somewhere on the continent of Africa for awhile. Our things were only a small part of the contents of these containers, as they were primarily filled with supplies for this summer's medical mission.

Several have asked just what we did send on ahead. We sent mattresses, kitchen stuff, linens, books and teaching supplies, a generator, and a few pieces of furniture--the kind that comes in a box and can be put together with a screwdriver and several hours of patience. The containers were loaded in January and February, so when we finally get to open them, I'm sure it will seem like Christmas!

Being an almost former college student, I'm well versed in putting "boxed furniture" together. At the very least, you'll have an extra pair of hands!
