\"\"<\/a>Loading ABC container #1<\/h3>\n

Every year at least one giant shipping container is sent to Malawi with supplies for the college, academy, clinic, and staff. Curious as to what a container looks like? Check out this post by fellow ABC staffers Jill and Jeremy.<\/p>\n

The first thing on the container, carpet for the new EE (Evangelism Explosion) building being built on campus. \u00a0At least I’m pretty sure that’s what that is. \u00a0haha!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Helping to get some of the last few things onto the container. \u00a0We had a little extra room at the end so we started pulling whatever boxes\/tubs we could find to fill up the extra space. \u00a0That’s where some of the missionary stuff was able to fit. \u00a0The rest will come on container #2 that will load in the next 2 weeks! \u00a0We gotta do it all again! ugh!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Off to the port of New Orleans! \u00a0I’m told it was put onto a barge the very next day. \u00a0Since he left at 4:30pm I’m hoping he made it. \u00a0But it’s only 2 1\/2 hours to N.O.<\/p>\n

It was a long and exhausting day! \u00a0I can tell you that we worked our tails off and tried our hardest to get items onto the container that we knew HAD to go which was the Academy, College, and Clinic stuff. \u00a0Then we worked to get as much missionary stuff as we could. \u00a0It was hard because a lot of the missionary stuff hadn’t been manifested (measured, weighed, numbered and added to a list). \u00a0We got a lot done though! \u00a0I’m excited that I’ll see it on the other end!!! \u00a0Wow! \u00a0Only 2 more months before we leave!!!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
