When I came home from running this morning, I checked our e-mail only to find out that are VAN IS OUT OF CUSTOMS!!!! I seriously ran into our bedroom and started jumping on the bed as John was still sleeping. I said, "Our van is here. Our van is here! Can you believe it?" I almost hit the ceiling I was jumping so high. John rolled over and said, "Really?" Hardly the excitement I was hoping for but, hey, he was sleeping. When I told Parker the news, he started jumping up and down with anticipation and giddiness. So we did the happy dance together. And John was thrilled once he woke up!
We just picked up our brand-new, 2007 Hyundai something that is provided by the International Mission Board. WOW!! We are so blessed. We are family of 6, but guess how many seats are in the van (it's dark blue by the way)? 12!!!! yes, you read that right - 12! We can carry 6 extra passengers and that's not including doing the lap thing that is so common here in Peru.
Now if you could just pray for our safety as we figure out how to drive again after 15 months of walking and taking taxis! The driving here is insane and it's every car for himself :)
Oh yeh, and we found out that the elevator is "suppose" to be fixed tomorrow. You guys are sending some faith filled prayers our way.

Praise the Lord! What great news! What a blessing to have a vehicle. So, is the Hyundai the same vehicle that has been stuck in customs, or do you now have two vehicles?
Oh how great! So thankful you have a car now!
Please know that we are praying for all of you...most especially John.
That is so wonderful. I guess you didn't need the van till now!!! My is our Lord's timing PERFECT or what!!!
