Container in Korogwe

Now, that I have more information, I am able to update you on the container. First we want to thank you for your prayers. The process seemed unending and impossible at times, but God is good and we are 95% done.

Alan and George went to Tanga on Wednesday and wrapped everything up. We thank the Lord we had enough money to cover the fees. The container was delivered Wednesday night and will be at Herbert's house until we get back to Korogwe. All of our stuff will remain in the container until then. We hoped to be able to go through it and unpack it before we left, but the timing didn't allow for it. If only we had a few more days... The only thing we have left to do is follow up on the tax exemption check from the government.

George saw the container opened up and managed to grab the Dr. Pepper that someone sent! He brought it to Moshi today and I am SO excited.

This couldn't have been completed without you. Without the prayers, without the people who donated and without the person who loaned us the amount to cover the tax fees until the exemption check arrives. The container would still be sitting in the port, racking up huge fees without these things and of course, God's mercy.

I still am in shock that after all the stress, frustrations and fears, the container has arrived. It is such a weight off our backs and we are so relieved. We can't say thank you enough for your support during this time.

We praise the Lord for His faithfulness!

Woo hoo!!!!!!!! The container is here!!!!!

  3. Mrs Danger....I have OD'd on Dr. Pepper. Actually, that is not true... I could totally keep going. If too much caffeine wasn't a problem during pregnancy I would drink 5 a day. It is like candy and such a treat!
