A huge praise....

Hello to all,

Well, today we are rejoicing. As many days as we were "supposed" to get the container, it didn't come. Well, on Thursday morning, Don headed in with some of our guys to unload the overflow container and bring it home. When they inspect the containers, they move everything from one container to another. I had told them the last time that it would not fit into another one, and they found out it didn't. When Stan packs a container, there is not an inch left. And NO ONE can pack it like he does. So we end up with an extra one with the things that don't fit in the first one. Then that afternoon, the container arrived here. We are praising God for it's delivery. We spent Friday sorting and getting things ready for delivery.
What a job, but what a joyful job it was. Don made deliveries yesterday and today will do more. We are so thankful it is finally here and food and supplies are moving out into the countryside.

This picture shows what fun inspection can be. They take every box out and this time they looked into each box. Then the guys have to re stack it in the second one. They really, really worked hard this time, to get it done in a timely fashion and get home. Those guys were totally exhausted when they got here for a meal.
Then when the container got here over a week and a half later, they had their work cut out for them again. This time they had to put boxes in the right places for distribution. They worked hard and did an excellent job. Notice all the boxes from "Feed My Starving Children". These will feed so many, many people. One of the missionaries was here helping us out and we loaded up his truck to help with his orphanage and his feeding program for the poor house. So many need help and we praise God that He sends the supplies for us to help those out.Even after giving out quite a bit, Don still has a lot to distribute to the many he helps, plus the ones we are trying to help who are displaced or without any means to obtain food. A very hard ministry, but one worth taking on. Look at all the peanut butter that was donated. That is another really special blessing for us. And we praise God for the people who supplied it for us. It's a fantastic source of protein for the families.

Well, we have another praise to offer here. It seems our son and daughter-in-law's adoption process has started on the move again. Please, please keep it in prayer. They need to have their son home.

Someone (not positive of the company) has donated tents to MFI for the victims of the disaster here. We have a few coming to us to help the ones we are working with. These will be shelter for those who have nothing, another blessing from the Lord!!

It's time to close out and get back to work. Just wanted to share our praises with everyone and let you know things are finally moving in a positive way here again. Have a great day and keep Jesus at the front of all you do. Remember what He did for you, and serve Him in whatever way He directs.

Till next time, or until He returns... our love to you all.
