The Rest of the Story...

For those of you who are old enough to know Paul Harvey, now I will tell you ....

"THE REST OF THE STORY."

(That's especially for Stacy who had to hear P. Harvey every day on the way to Jr. High Band!)

When our camera was stolen I was too disconsolate to do more than mourn the loss of so many interesting and unique things to capture in photos, so many wonderful people to remember and how much I would miss blogging. But I did tell Heavenly Father that I needed to have a camera! It was just one of the conditions of staying in the Congo, like the internet.
So.........

• What are the chances that our mission president and his wife would be in S. Africa right now? You can buy anything in S. Africa and at reasonable prices.
• What are the chances that our mission president's wife would be a camera buff?
• What are the chances that she likes to shop?
• What are the chances that Pres. Headlee is in Burundi and she has a little time in S. Africa that she's willing to spend helping us?
• What are the chances that she lived in S. Africa for a year before coming here and knows where to find things?
• What are the chances that they would be coming to Lubumbashi in two weeks? (This will be their first trip here in three months)
• What are the chances that we would have enough cash on hand to pay for a new camera?
• AND... What are the chances that we will be will be getting a new camera for Christmas?
• Very good!

I don't believe that all these stars have lined up at once by chance. HE is watching over His missionaries. I guess I'm staying in the Congo!
