Rolf was actually able to finish all 8 walls and 3 floor sections. PTL! There was much prayer that went up for strength and perseverance at all the difficulties and delays that came up. He worked all day and evening yesterday hoping to get ahead. He was then up early cutting more steel (by hand since there is no working electric saw here) and then worked all day with 3 Ethiopians. He also made several trips to the place where the truck and trailer was parked. Those loading the truck were anxiously waiting for Rolf to finish all the work.
It looked like it would be impossible to fit everything on the truck and trailer since there were also 3 giant plastic water storage containers that needed to go, 2 fridges, a stove, plywood, wire screening, several boxes of personal goods, etc. A fridge and a stove will be dropped off in Injebara for another missionary family.
I sent the camera along with Rolf to take a picture of the loaded truck and trailer but he was too busy so you (and I) don't get to see how it looked in the end. Emmanuel leaves tomorrow and it will take 2.5 days to get to Gesses....we look forward to hearing that he and it all arrives safely.
My filthy, hard working husband.
Israyiil helping out with loading.
Emmanuel, SIM driver and purchaser. We have known Emmanuel the whole time that we have lived in Ethiopia and have enjoyed having him come to Sherkole in the past. Joel took a ride with Emmanuel in a truck carrying the wall frames to the loading truck.
