So, after writing the last blog- we got a wonderful surprise. The lady we had been dealing with called back and said everything was straightened and customs said that they did not need to bring our stuff through- to just go ahead and deliver it. How wonderful that news was that our stuff never even went through customs!!
A crew of 8 men were here around 9 am yesterday (our Wed), unloaded everything, put all the furniture in its proper place, assembled both sets of bunk beds and our bed and did a mans job of "unpacking" the boxes. It was quite entertaining to see them all trying to figure out where to put stuff. So I had them take anything that was a toy and put it on the top bunk and anything for the kitchen on the kitchen counter etc... Was a little overwhelming once they left and I had these massive piles of stuff- but it has made getting everything where it is supposed to be MUCH easier. The men were worried that the truck was too big and our road too little so they parked at the end of the street and moved everything to a smaller truck and van and shuttled it all to our house. Here is also the massive piles of stuff left outside our house as they waited for there to be room in the house.
So- it is Thanksgiving day here- and we are mostly unpacked and settled and we have MUCH to be thankful for. Thank you all for your prayers! Please continue to pray for Meg. She is improving, but still not better yet.

I shared your good news about getting you stuff at Chapelgate's Thangsgiving Eve service last night. Many are rejoicing with you and will continue to pray.
I told my Bible study group how your furniture got there and they were very glad. We had just prayed for you on Tuesday, that things would be smoothed out and that you would get your furniture quickly. What an answer to prayer.
