The Freezer

The first year we were at Pine Ridge we had access to a freezer which came in really handy to store all of the frozen food and ice we used. When you feed a crew of 25 or so plus the missionaries, plus up to 100-150 kids each day for 5 days, you need a lot of ice and freezer space. Last year the freezer they had been using was gone, it was old and finally bit the dust.

This year we decided to purchase a new freezer for them and take it out with us. We wanted an upright one and a roomy one. The prices on those things are rather high but hey, God is not short on cash so why not go for it.

We didn't say much to anyone about our hope of buying a freezer but every so often someone from our church family would approach me and hand me a check or cash with the instructions to use it in any way it was needed. We held that money separately and it eventually added up to about $450.00 - the price of the freezer!

The freezer is now sitting in my garage and is ready to go on the truck this Friday. For those of you who gave - THANK YOU!
