Timidly, as we paused in: our
car on Friday, we noticed a .few
sly glances from behind curtains'
along our street. Just then, a .
lady walked across the unpaved,
road and escorted '• us into our new
home; 'All the boxes'.and cartons

Sunday Was unbelievable! In
fact, had we known.what hat was
store for ,us','we would not have
had courage to even start. The
White Fax service 'was.'at 9:30'a.
and attended' by some 75 cur-
,•ious souls all eager to see (and
hear?) the new 'Preacher.' With
just enough timeto catch our
breath, we dashed off to Garrick
for :the 11..3.0 a.m. service.. Here
were gathered, about 50 people
who, at •the close•,of'the service
'presented us with several boxes
of vegetables, preserved 'fruit,,'
jams and honey. Thankfully. .:
we rushed home 'for ul nch (a
;peanut butter:sandwich) which
was. interrupted. by a parish-
oner whoaoppedby to make
arrangements'for her father's fun
eral to be held on the ,following
Wednesday'.. 'Still swallowingsa
last drop of coffee we left .for, the
