unstuck!

PRAISE GOD THAT BUCK IS UNSTUCK!!!

Our friends at Mango Camp, a tented camp in Kapoeta, were a HUGE help with the stuck truck.

1) They rescued Carrie and the volunteer from the truck before there was too much water inside.
2) They just barely kept the truck from tipping over completely and being swept away by the river.
3) They were able to get the truck out of the river to the other side!!!

The truck was filled with water, but Carrie and the volunteer got out before it was too bad (and Carrie saved the satellite phone that was in the glove box)!

Now, please join us in prayer as our friends at Mango Camp work on the truck to make sure everything gets in running order soon.  Water was coming out from everywhere.  Hopefully on Friday we can go and pick up a working truck!  Please pray that the river does not flow on Friday and that it does not rain in between now and then.  The "roads" are really bad right now.  Thanks!!!

On the other side of the river...those of us back on the compound had some rainy day fun!  We made American cupcakes from a box with American chocolate icing.  (It may seem like a small thing, but just throwing water/egg/oil into a bowl with the mix and plopping it in the oven was a treat!)  The boys played a game from Walker's school supplies, "Sound-O!"  (basically bingo with letter sounds), and then Mindy, Davis, and I took our chance with Monopoly Deal.

Oh, and Delilah is going to have puppies again.  We are having a competition to see who can guess the right number of puppies!

Also, thanks to some Toposa neighbors and their gardens, our kitchen seems to be overflowing these days with two vegetables that neither of us ate much in America...
