Container for Honduras

Glory! We did it. We really did it. The 40 foot container for Missionary Randy Herring arrived at 10:00 this morning and by 1:00 we had it totally loaded. What a job. There were five of us working; Vance Street, William Walker, Orton Queen, Dr. Johnny Strickland, and me. We did not take time for a bathroom break or even to get a drink of water because we did not know if we could really load all the stuff in the allotted three hours. But we did it. I want you to know that packing a 40 foot container is no small task. If you have ever packed a U-Haul truck or trailer, you know how you try to put things in every available space. Imagine doing that in a 40 foot container which is seven feet tall inside. But we packed it to the very back doors. As we put in the last items I told the guys I pity the person trying to unload it. You may want to pray for Missionary Randy Herring. That is going to be his task. Also pray that everything goes smoothly through customs.
