We got our car!!!

Just want to say THANKS to many of you who prayed regarding getting our car on the island. On Tues. we spent the day at Hybur Shipping waiting for our broker (who was 4 hours) late, and then we didn't have some of the paper work he wanted. Once that was in order the custom's guy was gone for the day. So we went home and thought okay let's try tomorrow.


So we went down there again the following day, and while we were waiting (we are getting really good at that!) for our broker to let us know the decision regarding our car we both saw this truck. I laughed and thought.. how like God!!



It is a little cryptic message: THANK YOU FOR ALL FATHER!! We both chose to thank Him in advance for whatever happened that day regarding our car. We were able to get the car in using a tourist pass. That gives us 1 month, but is renewable for another 3 months after that. We are hoping and trusting that we will be able to get our residency papers in order before then because then we can keep the car here duty free. Yes thank You Father!!
Today we were quoted $6,000 to get all of that done! That is ridiculous!!! We are going to look into another lawyer and get a cheaper quote hopefully.

But it was totally thrilling to drive away in our own car!!

See how excited Bob is!! I also felt like a kid on Christmas morning. One thing I should mention they wanted to charge us $100.00 for the kayaks on top but Bob negotiated it down to $60.00. I think most people just pay whatever but these prices are very 'fluid' so why not barter along???

We are so thankful for Lisa, in particular who has driven us around to various places on the island. She also waited with us all day on Tuesday. Her support has been invaluable! We may just take her cruisin' tonight!!

This is a sample of what it is like to drive on the island. That is very common to see. It is two way traffic and people just pass wherever...on a hill, on a corner! One thing we are learning is not to follow taxis too closely because they will stop in the middle of the road to pick up someone. Yes you read that right... they stop in the middle of the road!!! It's crazy!

Sorry this is blurry but our windshield is a bit dirty....
Well we are going out 'in our car!!!' to West Bay. There is someone who wants Bob to do some work for him so we are just going to go scout it out.

Have a blessed day. We have our electronic frame scrolling pictures of you all everyday and I have chosen to pray for you as I see your faces. Please if you have any specific prayer needs then just drop us a line ok? We may be living across the ocean but our hearts and our love are very near to you all. xo
