“It’s all here and ready to pick up!”\u00a0 we were told.\u00a0 The stuff we had shipped by container through the Baptist mission\u00a0last summer had finally cleared customs and was available to bring home.\u00a0 But it’s at a Baptist mission station\u00a0on the other side of Douala\u00a0 — a few hours’ drive.\u00a0 So Ron made a plan to drive over on a national holiday (a little over a week ago) and back the next to pick up the boxes that we, Norens and\u00a0Baptist missionary, Kristy who teaches\u00a0at RFIS, had shipped on the container.<\/p>\n

But Ron had been busy at work and hadn’t really thought through the details and logistics of the trip.\u00a0 Thankfully God is in the details.\u00a0 We got an email from a missionary currently living in the US who wanted his vehicle moved from that mission station near Douala to Yaounde, would Ron be able to drive it?\u00a0 Yes!\u00a0 In fact, Ron needed the space IN that vehicle to put all the Noren’s, Z’s and Kristy’s\u00a0boxes and trunks that had come on the container.<\/p>\n

The first\u00a0day of the trip was a holiday, so traffic was not bad at all; and Nathan was free, so he went along to help.\u00a0 They were able to load all the stuff the first afternoon, stay over night at the mission,\u00a0and headed back the 2nd day.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Nathan had been stung by something causing his leg to swell up and rendering him unable to help… somehow I don’t think he was disapopinted, just in a lot of pain!<\/p>\n

On the way back they made a stop at a restaurant just to check out the menu and prices for future reference.\u00a0 As they pulled out of the parking lot Ron noticed a flat tire on our van.\u00a0 As he removed the tire, a man came up to him saying he’s the parking guard and offered to take the tire to have it repaired saying, “the guy who does tire repair will give you a hard time.\u00a0 I’ll take it for you.”\u00a0 A little later they were on their way again, thankful for the help and that the flat hadn’t happened in a more remote area.\u00a0 Again, God had taken care of the details.<\/p>\n

And we have enjoyed opening the boxes of stuff we sent to ourselves!\u00a0 It’s like Christmas all over again – clothes, fun foods, tools, and lots of books that were too heavy to bring on the plane when we first arrived.<\/p>\n
