Dear friends and family:
We started out Saturday, mid morning hoping to spend the day looking for a car. Being a 3rd world developing country, there are always sewage pipes that need repaired here and it's not uncommon to have to go through parts of roads that are covered in "water". Today we went through one of those areas near our home and got our right front tire stuck in a hole. Matt had to get out of the car and wade through it to get our car pushed out. Being the gentlemen that he is, he let me do the driving. :-) Wish I'd had my camera as he and 5 other African men pushed the mission car out of the water. We went back home, got him cleaned up again (and disinfected) and headed back out.
This week we've found 2 Toyota Corolla's (in which we're interested) on the market for a good price; at least good for here. The one is a 2007, the other a 2006. We're trying to figure out which one is the "winner" based on our mechanic's opinion; and will hopefully buy one or the other this week. Thank you for your prayers and financial help in all this. We are still not quite able to pay for it all, but the mission is willing to loan us some to make up the difference until the rest comes in.
I also had this week a wonderful opportunity to visit 4 homes of FATEAC wives who've recently had babies. 6 of the FATEAC teacher's (all women this time) went from house to house congratulating all of these families. (One of them had twins...adorable!) We then presented them with a gift of soap and money to be used for their newest arrivals.
Keep praying.
Love, Cindy
