It's HERE!!!!!!!!!


BEFORE AFTER

After many many days in the port and more money than we wanted to spend, but less than we could have spent and with much help from God, The Burge's & The Stone's and a very influential friend of both we have our stuff!!!! It arrived in Bani around 7:30 pm and that's when the fun started. The power lines in the town are very low, so one of the guys had to ride on the top of the truck and hold up the power lines with a broom while the truck drove under them. They only broke one line! With each block the crowd grew and people were saying things like OH the Americano's!!! When it finally got down our little street we had quite a crowd, but they didn't stick around long after we opened it, they must have thought we would put them to work. 3 guys came with the truck and our good friend Greg Burge, Fran - the farmer who lives on Restoration Ranch and a friend of his (his name sounds like Lily, but I am sure it is spelled different).
Those guys worked non stop for 1 1/2 hours and unloaded all of our wordly goods. It was quite amazing when they left and we looked around and thought maybe we shouldn't have brought all this stuff, but we will either find a place for it or give it to someone. We are so thankful we are so blessed!! Thank you to everyone who prayed!! Now the fun part - unpacking!!!
