Seminary and Institute Supplies

We sent our seminary and institute curriculum order to the area office in May. When it had not arrived by November, we started asking questions about when it would ship as we needed it before the start of the school year in January. After many questions we found that the shipment had been held by DHL in Botswana since June. Neither DHL or the Church gave us any notification that the materials were waiting to be delivered to us.

The shipment consisted of thirty-four boxes of manuals and supplies. It filled up much of the floor space in our office. The supplies were needed for the nine wards and branches we support from as far away as five hours drive to the north (Francistown) and two hours drive to the south (Mafikeng). It was impractical to deliver the supplies in time ourselves so we enlisted the help of the missionaries and couples. When they came to Gaborone we would send supplies back with them for their areas. We now have all the supplies delivered for this term, and we are glad to get our office space back.
