In our last blog Cheryl was explaining some of the problems we were having bringing in the container (with 1000 Christmas boxes for the children). Even as she wrote, Nicolas and I had been summoned to the dock to break the seal on the container and participate in the examination of its contents. This usually takes at least one whole day. That problem was made even greater by the fact that this was our last day before returning to the US. Finally, our sewing school graduation was scheduled for that same day as well as our employee banquet. It was almost certain that Nicolas and I would miss both of those. But Cheryl didn’t give up. She wrote a prayer request to our church that day, “We pray that somehow [they] could be back from the port to be a part of this.” I don’t know how it happened, but we were dismissed from the inspection; and we arrived back at the mission center for both events. Furthermore the container arrived at the Center at 3:30 that afternoon. We arrived in Tulsa last Thursday and will be here until January 3. A team from Oklahoma State University will arrive at the mission center January 4th.
