Yehey! The Box Is Here!

There are lots of photos in this blog! I will just tell you the background and let the photos tell their own story. A good friend of ours from Kentucky, Linda Dunagan, has been an advocate of our children's school at IGSL from the time we opened it five years ago. She prays for us, gets others to pray for us, finds books for our kids, gets others to find books for our kids, is excited about what we are doing, gets others to be excited about what we are doing, and on and on. She is a great gift to us. While James and I were on furlough recently, Linda started collecting books and puzzles for our kids, and raising funds to ship three big boxes to us. Linda and Susie (another friend from Kentucky) sent the books, and we've been looking forward to seeing those boxes. A few days ago, the first box arrived. We made the kids wait for our photographer before we allowed the box to be opened, and they nearly died of anticipation! And then of course, they had to pray and thank Jesus for the box . . . so they had to wait a little more. FINALLY, the box was opened, and they have been reading ever since! It is so much fun to watch them enjoying the newly expanded library. Thanks, Linda and Susie, and ALL the friends in Kentucky who made this happen!
