the lost sheep

we interrupt your regularly scheduled vacation update to pass along some good, hallujah news!

The three boxes of books we were waiting on have arrived!!!

It was kind of random how it happened...josh went to the post office yesterday to pick up a package that arrived for one of our friends. While josh was there, he asked if there was really no package for us, since we had been waiting for months on a few packages to arrive. After a little bit of hem-hawing (is that how you spell that?) a light clicked on in someone's brain and they said, "Oh yeah...we've had a box here for about four months that no one ever came and picked up, but just yesterday we sent it back to the city central post office to return to its sender."

"well, can you get it back?" josh asked.

they made a call to the central post office, and saved the package just as it was about to be returned to america. It arrived at our post office today, all three boxes.

My bible has been rescued. Mantha's baby book is no longer lost in mail abyss. Emma's got about a million new books to read. The lost sheep has been found!
