At Last!

Here is the newest information from David Kellum. Feel free to shout Amen!


Hi to everyone;

The truck with the container arrived in Gitega this morning. It traveled 750 miles from Dar Es Salaam. About 360 were paved and the rest of it was dirt road. We do not know the time it arrived but we were at church in Gitega at Magarama when David Bipfubasa got a phone call from the doctor saying that it was in Gitega. David was not feeling well at his stomach so he went out and went to the guest house and Bipfubasa found him there and told him that the container had arrived. So they went to down to the old market square and found the truck there. They got the papers from the driver to photo copy so Bipfubasa could take them to Bujumbura this afternoon. These papers are from customs with the number on it that needs to go to the Minister of finances for exornation of custom. The doctor and his wife will work on that tomorrow morning. She works in the ministery of finances.

Tomorrow we will go to Kwibuka and pick up some things we need to help with unloading. We think that we have permission to bring the container to Kibimba tomorrow. Before we can open it a customs and a health official have to be there to open it. The health official will come from Buja and the customs will come from Gitega. Pray that both of them will be able to come on Tuesday morning.

Pray that everything will go well with the unloading of it.

David
