A Quick Christmas Shipment Update

The container from Maryland has been released for delivery! We expect the truck carrying the container to arrive at our house sometime tomorrow.

Prayer requests:

- That Russell will have a safe trip home this evening.

- That there will be no difficulties with the delivery.

- That we will have no problems unloading the backhoe from the container (the unloading process is dangerous to the driver and to anyone nearby).

- That there will not have been any damage to the items in the container.

Praises:

- The fees for the container were exactly what we had anticipated and prepared to pay.

- Our new gringo friends, Trish and Brad Ward and family, are coming to help with the unloading.

- RUSSELL IS COMING HOME TONIGHT WITH HAM FOR CHRISTMAS!

I'm still praying for a successful conclusion to all of this (including the Florida shipment), but I must say that I keep thinking you must be so proud of Russell! What a great guy! Enjoy your ham and Merry Christmas.

Merry Merry Christmas Trish!
We are all praying for you and Russell and both shipments. I have to echo Jane on this one--Russell is an awesome guy. We were so blessed when we came to visit to not only meet so many great Hondurans but also to get to know your children. Thanks and praise to God for the gifts they are!

PS Please keep Charlie (our 14 year old) in your prayers. Let's just say its tough being a teenager sometimes. Thanks!
