We are praising the Lord that our container with our belongings arrived safely in Kitwe, Zambia on Saturday, September 22. This was only eight days after the original estimated time of arrival, so we were pleased. After many calls (starting the week before the container arrived), John was able to locate a crane that was in working condition and not already assigned to a job in the mines. (The crane was seen broken down by the side of the road after leaving our place - so we are thankful that it was able to complete our task.)Both the truck and the crane made it up the drive to the gate. The drive is lined with frangipani (or plumeria) trees. Surprisingly few branches were knocked off. Kathy B hopes to plant some of these cuttings at their new place.
It was an exciting moment when the truck pulled away from under the container!
Isaiah H. was impressed with how strong the men were as they "moved" the container!
We had many spectators for the big event - both American and Zambian. The football (soccer) game at the playing field outside the wall was only temperarily interrupted. The unloading and positioning of the container took over two hours, but the job was finished safely.
