Unboxing Bibles from Lifeway

I’m so so happy that the Bibles that I requested from LifeWay finally arrived. After almost 2 months (56 days to be exact) I got a text from the post office that a package is waiting for me to pick up.Well I did a follow up on Thursday, but the mail guy said that they haven’t got my package. I don’t expect to come that quick because of the current situation. The last time I got something from Lifeway, the shipping took two weeks. Then the day after the follow up, the next day, they told me I have the package. Whoa! Thank you Lifeway for this!
