We Found a Car!

Brian and I spent all of today out car shopping again because we will be losing one of the cars we are renting when the missionary family returns in late August. This would have left us with one car for all 12 people who are trying to go in different directions. It was a long tedious day - especially because i know next to nothing about cars. well, I did know next to nothing, but you learn a lot after car shopping for 10 hours in one week. we found a dealer named Deon that we really liked at a VW place about 15 minutes from home. This was probably the second place we went, but after that, we went all over the place price matching and trying to find a better deal or a better car. we had our hearts set on a VW Citi, but bailed out because it's tiny and any accident above 45 mph would almost assuredly result in serious injury or worse. cars here are a lot like they are in Eurpoe - tiny with more focus on gas mileage than on safety - and we want both! we bailed on the Citi, but found another car there before we left. It was a Polo. It's a little more spacious with many more safety features and it actually gets better gas mileage, so it was the ideal car we were looking for. the problem is that we need to come up with $4,000 more in order to pay for it, so we're in the process of working on that. Please be in prayer for finances to come in so that we can fill this obvious need. tomorrow starts with meetings early, so I'm looking forward to getting going on stuff other than car shopping, which is now right up there with shoe shopping in my book...
