Yes, ¡increíble! Absolutely incredilble! In a strangely funny twist of irony, our Denton-shipped container is scheduled to arrive here in Honduras on May 8 or so. Ironic because I leave for six weeks in the States on April 28. So, my things will finally get here, after almost 9 months, but I won't be here to start going through them. Oh well, the boxes will be waiting for me when I get back. Box after box after box. I'm sure I will hardly know where to start.
No, I know exactly where I'll start: setting up the TV and BluRay player. Wait, I should probably start by filling the bookshelves with books. But the kitchen needs to be set up, too. On second thought, maybe I have no idea where I'll start. Actually, I'm sure I'll start by sorting, again, and thinning out my stuff some more.
While I was packing to move here, I thought I had done quite an admirable job of getting rid of a lot of my stuff. I mean, I gave away, threw away or sold more things than any one person really needs. Yet, my remaining things filled my one-car garage and then filled a decent sized moving truck. Yes, I can rationalize and say that some of those things are for the ministry here, that they're not really for me, but let's face it -- I still have too much.
Well, this will be another opportunity for me to see just how attached to physical things I really am. I hope I pass the test!
One thing that I'm a little sad about is that my cycling sandals, my Keen cycling sandals are among my things. That means that I won't have them when it comes time to do some rides in the States. I'm glad that I still have a pair of cycling shoes waiting for me in Shawnee. Plus, I can't remember where my bike helmet is. Did I pack it to come down here? Or is it waiting for me, as well? I'll know the answer to those questions, and more, by this time next week!
