waiting for a container and news

We spent the month of November waiting for our first container... and now we are trying to hurry up and make another shipment to Sierra Leone of our farm equipment (thanks to the sale proceeds from Prince of Peace) and medical supplies for Mattru hospital.

How many ways do you know how to spell "crazy"!?!

Do go ahead and pray! We can see a busy two weeks ahead of us, then back to Sierra Leone and a busy three or four months... or more!

MIchigan is fast becoming a favorite!

OK, Indiana will always have my heart, and Ohio is a place I lived for 10 years and the kids went to school and we made lots of friends, but Michigan is just so cool!  And by that I mean temperature!  There are lots of supporting churches in MI, but every time we drive up here the weather is just so great!

Yes, I know it sounds so very shallow to always talk about weather, but the cool nights mean I can sleep, and the cool days are just plain refreshing.  I am enjoying it, and enjoying so much of all that we have done the past 5 days.  We landed late on June 9th, so I barely count that day, all the "action" started the 10th, and since then we have seen a couple of our Dr.s and LOTS of our friends.  Linda has let her house be overrun with Fennigs and their ilk, all three of the residents of their household have graciously handled us spreading stuff out all over (Grandma knows what that is like) and using all their hot water.  And the food we go through in three days would feed their household for a month!

Now we are looking at some old used combines in MI, the time with the POP folks having energized us on the progress on the project in Waima.  By Wednesday we need to be in IN for our Dr. appointments on Thursday.  We will get back onto the internet as soon as possible, but we wanted to update and tell you all that all is well, ... "all will be well, and all manner of things will be well".  With overflowing joy and gratitude

So if you want to contact us, it is possible now!  Have a fabulous June! Ours will be really busy, but it is nice to be here.
