What an exciting day! We felt so blessed by the God’s goodness and his perfect timing! We did indeed open the container yesterday morning and believe it or not had it emptied by noon! It was amazing watching everyone work together to unload. We had a team of fellow zambians helping us as well, and a flat-bed truck (which they call “canters” here) that we would fill up and they would deliver to the library, clinic, and classrooms. It was so fun to unload all of the things that we packed so long ago…the kids were ecstatic to get their bikes off and began riding them immediately! It was also so amazing to see all the school supplies! Tables, chairs, shelves, blocks, crayons, curriculum…it was like Christmas! Arika and I (Tina) were able to unload bins and organize our kitchen and get most of the things into at least the right rooms. We had an “epoxy” team today working hard! The first coat is on the floors and the second coat goes on tomorrow. Here are just a few pics from the day…
Thank you to everyone who donated items for this container…furniture, tools, epoxy, lumber, sporting goods, school supplies, and so much more! Thank you! God bless!

I had no idea you were talking about a storage box of that size. No wonder it felt like Christmas. I am so respectful and in awe of what you are accomplishing. This is truly God’s work. Bless you all and have fun with your new toys. Rosalyn
Oh my, I was thinking a little tupperware container! Lol! That is massive, I too can see why this was like Christmas! Love all your updates! Keeping you all in my prayers!
Love,

Awesome Tina! God is so good. Although you would have liked this earlier it sounds like the timing worked out quite well. May you enjoy setting up your new Zambian home. May God bless you all with continued health and strength.
Praise the Lord and his perfect timing. After all of the togetherness now time for some separation as everyone works to get homes and school in order. So much to do. It will get done. Dad
