Our friends gave us a ’99 Volvo last week. This is one solid car. Everyone (Anni, Via, Deanna and myself) all love to drive it.

Our friends were trying to sell this car on Craigslist, but they are not good salespeople. It was not a convenient time to meet. Or the buyer wanted too big a discount. Or… In September of this year they finally decided, “Let’s just sell the car for whatever we can get, for a quick sale, and then send the money to Rick and Deanna.” Then they found out we were home on furlough. “Hey. Maybe they can use the car?”

In August, we had been really needing another vehicle. I started to look for what I could buy. But I was also preparing to return to Brazil for a month.

Within my first week back we had it all signed over.  Thank you Lord! And thank you Eric and Jessica.
