How We Ride...NOW

This is how we used to ride! (click link to see)
 
 
But now...
 
A week before Christmas
We were praying A LOT
For paperwork and money to come through
And that complications would not.
 
Hoping and wishing
And holding our breath
After 27 months begging and borrowing,
Motos and tap-taps and risking our death
 
Many friends came together
And blessed us so much
With encouraging gifts
And our hearts are forever touched
 
A month before Christmas
Searching and stressed
An unexpected gift came
That doubled our blessed!
 
So a week before Christmas
After tap-tap a many
This is how we ride now
And it is blessing us plenty!

A HUGE thank you to all those who have donated and prayed to bless us with our long awaited new ride...

This is the kids favorite because it has air conditioners all the way back.

Our new ride arriving in our driveway Wednesday December 18th!

Our new ride with our fam plus 3 packed in on our first trip Friday December 20th!
We plan to add a large metal luggage rack on the top so we and teams we pick up from the airport aren't so squished in the future. There are seatbelts for 7 but of course this is Haiti so a few more will always fit in just fine.


A special thank you to Karyn Bass for her heart to head up this fundraiser for us, to Cheryl McMullen family for the blessing of a better vehicle than we ever expected, to Jan Ross, David and Julie Young from Heart of God for all your help with donations, transfers, and paperwork AND...
to everyone else who made this possible!
