HI all I hope you don’t mind me writing again. I wanted to let you all know that not so good news that David and I recieved on Monday and ask you to pray for us about it.
After spending all day monday trying to pack everything we don’t need in the next 3 weeks, and even putting it into the car to see if it will fit, we found out that our car is not allowed to come with us across the border. :( Mazda can not give it a letter of regestration because it doesn’t meat US safety codes or what not. THat is a bit of a damper.
God is good and ever faithful. We know we are going to make it ot
the
states before the month is out (Lord willing) or shortly there
after.
As soon as we knew for sure that we couldn’t bring our car into the
states I called my mechanic that I bought the car from and he is
going
to be looking for another one for us. It will take a while and will
cost more than this one did, but it is an option at the moment. A
few
other things we are looking in to is renting a car either to take us
all the way or to just take us to north of Minnisotia and possibly
David’s parents could pick us up. Or we might just take as little as
we can and go by bus or train. David’s parents do have a car that we
could use for a while while we are getting settled.
I would like you to pray for God’s guidance. We knew we would need a
new car some what soon as this on is getting on in years, but we were
hoping it wouldn’t be until after David has a job and we won’t go
into
debt over it. We are not fully sure of what to do right now because
it would be easy NOW to just buy a car and worry about the detals
later, but that might not be best at the same time. Please pray that
we know what to do. And if it comes to getting a new car, please
pray
that we can get the money for it one way or another. We can get a
bit
from this car, that will help and we have a few other small sources
we
could work from, but it really depends on what the mechanic can find
and if it is worth it. Maybe we should just come by motorbike……
(wouldn’t that be a sight! :))
THank you for your thoughts and prayers and e-mails! It’s great to get so much encouragment from friends! We love you! In Christ Rita
