Monday Morning

We are getting ready to go to the center. The hold up this morning is sugar. It's always something or another - TIA! We are still feeling the effects of the National Holiday on December 1st. We were not able to buy the amount of sugar that we needed last week, because everyone in the country was wanting sugar as part of their celebration for the holiday. Then, the mission was waiting for the month wire transfer of money for December. Because of the holiday they were not able to access the money, even though it should have been available. So, finally the transfer showed up at the bank on Friday, but we were not able to withdraw funds because it had not cleared. This morning we are waiting for the runner to come back from the bank to give us the money we need to go to the market to get the rest of the sugar. Pray that we will actually be able to get the quantity we need. We need about 400 packages of sugar which still may in shortage because of the holiday.
Also pray that we will be able to get the pictures of the orphans at Bercail (prounced ber-ki). We are on schedule, but starting to feel a little pressure to finish the process by tomorrow.
