So, our container is in Durban, South Africa and they say it should be 5-15 days til it arrives here! It could be next week or the week after, or even the week after that, haha!
It is the 31st and I am missing the crisp cool weather of the fall. All the smells of harvest time, going to the punkin patch and all the yummy candles and stuff. We are having a little party here though. We live on a bible college campus and there are four American missionary homes here so we will go from house to house trick or treating and around our house to our 3 doors and then have a party.
We are still waiting for our phones. Doug and some of the workers here were in the ravine and climbing up a large tree to tie the phone line to a rock and throw it over to our home (oh, the African ways of doing things). The telecom guy was supposed to be here to connect the line mon. or tues. of this and has still not come even though Doug has called daily. So for now we keep bugging our neighbors upstairs from us (the Mcknights, one of the couples that helps at the bible college every term) for their line to at least check email.
Missing everyone!

Good to hear from you again...can't wait until your land line gets in, pretty amazing Doug had to climb a tree and put a rock around the line and throw it over the dunga! We could almost visualize that! Hope you got some pictures...! We in the USA take so much for granted. We missed going to the "Pumpkin Patch" this year but enjoy all the candles, and fall things we sent on the container when it arrives.
Love You Bunches
