Moving In

Here are some pics of our container and moving in.

Doug ministering to me by cleaning the week before moving in.
The truck trying to manuver onto our closed street

Fellow missionary Mark helping us to cut open the lock on our container

Hold on tight, cause it's packed tight!!


Doug during the process of unloading

Caleb has wanted his bike to ride ever since we got here. Unfortunately, Mommy didn't know how to rearrange the bike pedals that the packers had changed so that the bike would fit on the container. What a blessing, Mark stopped what he was doing to minister to my little man and help him get his bike in working order. What a great, "Uncle."

Just a few of the things that we get to enjoy now that they are unpacked.

Do we REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH STUFF????
Jenn (Mark's wife), and Nikki helping us to unload and check all the boxes off the list. Yup, it's all here!!!
Our back porch in disarray

Our entryway and living/dining room combo in caous

My new kitchen

The kids excited to play video games again!!

Here in Chile, when you rent a house you have to put in your own light fixtures and they move with you to each new house you rent. This is common with kitchen cabinets too!!! We still don't have a fixture for this light and we have a few others around the house that need fixtures too. In time, in time...

Our entryway and dining room not in disarray now.

Is that your refrigerator behind Doug in the first picture? You understand the idea of perspective, from a perspective of living in china, that is a huge frig... consider yourselves blessed.
