Greetings,

It has been so long since we have posted anything on this site that I may have to reintroduce myself. It's not that we haven't been busy. Seems like most days run into the other way to quickly. This is our slower season but the time when most of the internal things get done. Currently we are resorting the tool room to make it more of a work space to repair items.

The medical room is scheduled for a major makeover also. We have many items that we need to eliminate either because they are too old or too specific. Seems we have more items than room! Looks like a major inventory is coming up for this room.

We are looking forward to one of our favorite groups coming for the weekend. The pioneer girls from Silver Springs, Maryland have scheduled their annual trip for Feb. 18,19,20th. They stay at the mission and attack our mountain of clothing as well as reorganize several rooms for us.

We have not been able to send out any containers lately. We are hoping to send out a clothing container this month to Tajikistan. We have been waiting on paper work from the government .

We will be renting a 6000 foot storage unit starting this month. It will be to stage containers more easily and to be able to load them without the congestion of all the other items we have on hand at the mission. We have several containers that we are gathering items for that will go out in the next few months.

Currently Charlie has a bad cold ( he has a very deep "Barry White" kind of voice). I am recovering from dental problems. Both of us are tired and dragging around so pray for energy for us as well as good health.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Blessings,

Charlie and Kathy
