it's been a long time since we left jordan (17 days to be exact) and we are ready to return, outside of the whole packing and flying 12 hours thing. it has been great to see old friends, talk, eat vegetarian food, and play the wii fit. we are super pumped specifically for matt and ali who are officially engaged and getting married this summer. YEAH!
one very cool thing has happened in the last two days. we have a car here that we still have tons of money left to pay on. we've been hoping, praying, and trying to sell this car for the last 3-4 months with no potential buyers. yesterday, a family called and wanted to look at the car for their daughter. after driving the car, she wanted to buy it. the dad was hesitant about the process as we don't have the title since we still owe money on it, but he slept on it and gave us a call this morning confirming the sale. we are dropping it off to them tomorrow, along with paying it off and getting rid of our last significant piece of debt. the praise be to God.
as we see it, the same God who delivered his people from slavery, parted the Red Sea and the Jordan River, has placed us where he wants us in Jordan, confirming it through relationships and jobs, and now with this final seal of approval by selling our car during an economic downswing, just 4 days before we return to Jordan. wow.
how's that for providence, Rhode Island?
