Landcruiser Update

***UPDATE***

(Our last blog covered our Landcruiser importation issues, so please go here for the background behind this update: Landcruiser blogpost.)

News has come down and we are excited… we will be able to keep the Landcruiser!!  I am especially grateful for a number of reasons:

  1-     This vehicle has a heavy duty bull bar.  That means added safety for our family on these crazy roads.  A couple years ago one of our teammates had a wreck – driving through the dust with very low visibility a bus that was driving on her side of the road hit her head on.  Everyone walked away, credit to God & that heavy duty bull bar! 

  2-     It’s reliable.  Leaking oil and clutch fluid may come eventually, but for now we can spend time on other endeavors and not car maintenance!  Also, no dogs covered in oil because they love the shade under the vehicle…

  3-     The most important:  We’re thankful for the opportunity to use the program vehicle while we waited for our Landcruiser… but it was a pickup and the suspension was super stiff.  You felt EVERY SINGLE bump.  In comparison, our Landcruiser rides like a dream over these rough roads and Grady’s back can tell the difference! 

We will be continuing to raise funds to help cover the unexpected importation fees, instead of closing out our vehicle account as planned.  MAF has asked us to raise an additional 20,000 but we are already over 35% of that figure!  Thank you to those of you who have given and prayed throughout this whole process so that this vehicle could become a reality.
