Our Website is officially in transition

Faithful readers, some of you have written to check on us because we haven’t written anything in a few days.  We promise nothing is wrong, we are just waiting for our web developer to give us the green light that the site has been migrated to its new location.  Before that, he was needing to copy everything on the site, and move it, and we didn’t want to keep adding new things to give him more work than he already is doing.  As far as we can tell, the move happened on Saturday, but true to the laws of living in Zambia, it isn’t working properly yet.  A fellow missionary has called what happens when you try to accomplish anything in a timely fashion, especially if it includes any governmental office, being ZAMBOOZLED.  So far, we have been Zamboozled with our work visa, our Toyota truck, and our new internet service at our new home.  Many of you know that we’ve lived in 5 places since January of this year, and we are very ready to be settled for a little while.  We have found a wonderful home in the neighborhood called Roma, near to many places we have already served in Lusaka, and it will be a terrific spot to train people to teach and work with orphans.  We have paid the deposit for the next three months.  We have started to purchase, as inexpensively as we possibly can, all the most necessary items for life in that home, and today we went to be there while they installed our internet.  But, of course, the Zamboozling happened, and they have NO modems (even though we paid for a whole year of internet service last week, with no mention of this).  So, we have a clean, newly painted, simple home, ready for us to move in, WITH a great big branch for a swing for Mollie, and fruit trees of all varieties, BUT no way to communicate with all of you if we choose to move in on July 1st, Thursday, which was the plan until we found this out.  We will let you know what we decide.  So between our impending move, our impending lack of internet availability at all times, and our constant state of zamboozlement, please do not fear if there are some gaps between our communications with you.  Thank you for your care.  Please pray that we would be patient with the delays and inopportune mishaps of life here.  We are grateful for each of you who support us, and pray for us.  Thank you!
