Antofagasta: The Packing Process

What do you think of when you think of moving? Cardboard boxes...the sound of the tape gun...a living room filling up with things.

The process of packing is rarely easy and stress-free. We can give testimony to that, for sure. The last two weeks, we have been slowly packing up our things in preparation for moving day at the end of this month (April).

What makes packing difficult is that life must go on during a large majority of the packing process. Meals still need to be made, laundry still needs to be done, and homeschooling still needs to happen. The balance is always between packing too early or leaving the majority for the last minute.

Tomorrow, an employee from the moving company will be stopping by the house to gauge how much stuff we have and make an educated decision on how big a truck we will need.

By end of next week, we should have all of our beds dismantled and the house will be pretty boring.

Please continue to pray for the following:

*Strength as we continue to prepare for moving day.
*Provision for the expected and unexpected moving bills.
*A safe two day drive up to Antofagasta. The whole family will be going in our van. Should be a L-O-N-G trip...
