Well, today all of the paperwork was supposed to be done and ready for us to pick up the long awaited container. This time we called St. Marc to see if it was indeed ready. We were told that all the paperwork was there. Rueben, Stue and I all went in only to find out that the only man to yet sign off on the papers didn't show up for work today. We talked to the mayor and even though he says it should be ready tomorrow, we'll wait until Fri. Steve just called this afternoon to say that the other two containers were shipped and will arrive this Friday. The paperwork is supposed to be finished already for customs and they are supposed to be released and delivered Friday. As you can see, Friday looks like a really big day!!! We've been working on the 9 buckets and 4 boxes that just found their way to us after a year. We've given clothing out to the little ones and this evening after school we will get the older ones. The shoes.... really good ones, it's been a long time since we've had good shoes here. It is surely wonderful. And the vitamins we asked for... here they are. Imagine the people we can affect with the containers? I can hardly wait!
Dad goes over to the school everyday and makes a mold by hand to pour columns and posts. Very tedious and physical work. I know that he could really use help but until God brings someone here to help him we must go on as we are, trusting God for strength and wisdom.
Thanks for your continuous care and prayers.
God Bless,
Don and Doris Peavey
Saturday Update:
Just thought I'd give a brief update on the container. I know you probably weren't holding your breath, neither were we, just hoping. Friday we called and guess what?! The Mayor went to Port-au-Prince, won't be back until Mon... but certain to be done Monday Then we got a call later, "Make that Tuesday." The other two containers should be ready to go Wednesday...... Have a wonderful Lord's day. Thank you again for all of your prayers and support! God Bless, Don & Doris Peavey
