Crates and Packing

Dear Friends and Family,

It is the last day of November! EEEEK! Time is getting away from us and we had better get busy making the final preparations for moving.

It was a busy Thanksgiving for us, but such a great break from the usual routine of studying. Although some school preparations had to be made, we spent the majority of our holiday preparing for the upcoming move. What a blessing to spend Thanksgiving with some friends here in Kansas City - what a feast and what great company. We had a very nice and relaxing day. But then, it was back to the work of crate making (that's David's job) and packing (that's Shelley's job). David made two great looking crates (well, they are not exactly pretty, but how pretty can plywood and 2x4s be?) and I began to stuff them with our belongings. All the pictures are off the walls, the curtains are down and I'm left with only a couple pans. So, progress is being made in the Webb home.

David will build us two more crates tomorrow and that should be plenty of room for our things. The crates will be stored for the year of 2006 and will meet up with us again in 2007 in Mexico City. Wow! That will be like Christmas. (I'll probably think, "Why did I keep this?") Kayley is taking as much room in the crates as anyone with her toybox and her many stuffed animals and dolls. Yes, we have managed to persuade her to give up some things, but there is only so much you can do with a packrat like Kayley. Joshua is easier to deal with in this department. His toys are much smaller (and much more expensive!).

David and I completed our final class presentations today. We still have some small papers to write and finals to contend with, but the majority of the school work is completed. YEAH!

This weekend is our last traveling deputation weekend. We'll be in the Tulsa area with services in both the am and pm. It will be a lot of fun to speak at Pastor Gunter's church in Tulsa. He and Sharon are special to us as they were our pastors in Junction City, KS many years ago.

Thanks for your continued prayers. You are each special to us.
