Friday!!!!

Yesterday Cory and Chris went to Cap. They went to the bank, did some shopping, went to pick-up lots of cargo, had to wait a couple extra hours as BOTH customs guys took the MFI flight to Pignon to do their cargo making the Cap folks wait, then more shopping and back about 6:30.

While most of the cargo was furniture for missionaries in Port-au-Prince Cory was happy that he had 10 different types of rare seeds come in, mostly from Asia. I too was surprised! Here is what I posted on the Sonlight Forums-last night.

Surprise BOX Day!!!!

---

YEAH!!! I have been tracking our boxes for fun knowing that it would likely be a week or so before they arrived in Haiti.

Our mail and cargo goes to Ft. Pierce and then once a week is flown into Haiti. DH went today to pick up cargo because some friends of ours had hundreds of pounds of furniture being shipped in that he had to pick up for them.

I saw that the boxes were still traveling yesterday so knew that maybe next week. With lots of Christmas boxes and cargo MFI decided to fly two planes today!!

Of course I knew in ordering the science that it would be looked at as last time they thought that the dirt for science was agricultural. The big frog caused a bit of a stir. [Frogs and reptiles are feared by the people here] I guess that after asking if it was food-the customs officer held it to her nose and decided it wasn't food.

Guess I'll have to get my work done tomorrow in a timely fashion so I can look though the boxes and NEW books!!!! Merry Christmas to ME.
