WE HAVE ARRIVED!

We arrived back at the beach last night with our friends Bob and Penny. We had a great trip. The Lord really blessed us! We were the last passengers to go through Customs Inspection, and they did not ask us to open any of the suitcases. It was a blessing, since Bob had a suitcase full of his tools and we had car parts and other equipment. We really did not want to explain anything to them. Our driver said that they were probably tired and wanted to close up shop. We were able to stop by a supermarket on the way to our condo to pick up some supplies. They were also closing when we got there, but we made it; therefore, we were able to have a snack before going to bed and a decent breakfast this morning.

Bob and Penny came with us to help us out with our car and a few things around the condo. It is a good thing he is here because the car battery is completely dead. The people from the transportation department came with a charger, but they could not revive it, so they took John and Bob to the nearest town, but they only had one battery, and it did not fit.So, John, Bob, and the guy from transportation went to the grocery store and picked up more groceries for us! We were making sandwiches for lunch when the German Bakery truck arrived, good timing! The people from the transportation department had to go to the big town 45 minutes away this afternoon, so they are going to pick up a battery for us and bring it back.

Bob has been keeping himself busy all day. Right now he is checking the electrical outlets in the garage to figure out why the battery went dead while connected to a charger. There is enough stuff around here to keep him busy for a month. I hope that he is willing to let go of some things so that we can have some fun!

We are well, although a little tired. If we can use the car tonight, we will start visiting our friends. Pray that we can connect with them and organize our first couples' meeting for this Saturday.

Until next time...from the beach...
