We now have a new car!
I took a 1 1/2 bus ride to another part of the city to look at a bright orange car which I had previously seen at the stadium, having made an appointment with the owner to view it the day before. When Felipe and I got to the house neither the car nor the owner of the vehicle was there. So we turned round to go back...again without a car. However, we spotted ANOTHER car only a few hundred yards away which we had also previously viewed at the stadium, but forgot to take down the number of, and took it as a sign to go and buy it. The chances of seeing this particular car again was really slim as the city is SO big but there is was. So...after some negotiation, I bought it and drove it back to Luzeiro. Here's a photo:
Beckie was expecting me to return with an orange 'fusca' (Beetle) but I drove back in a green one. Thankyou all who have been praying about this. It has been quite a hassle and challenge looking for and buying a car here and now it is done.

New car (looks great - Jenny has always wanted a 'beetle'!), new puppy (how cute), new hairstyle for Gideon- and new school for Josiah, soon.

So glad you had such a great time with Mum and Dad - down to earth with a bump doing all those chores afterwards! Love from Mary and Roger
