WE SOLD OUR VAN!!!!!!!

This is a tribute to how God is faithfull and knows exactly what we need, and WHEN we need it. Our trade-me auction ended Monday night with only one bid that didn't meet the minimum price we had set. We felt pretty discouraged but decided to offer it to the person that bid for $3000 (we were asking $3500) When he didn't respond by Tuesday morning to that offer we figured he'd changed his mind. Not too long after we got an email saying that he had indeed accepted our offer. The next tricky bit was to have him look at the van (including the side door which we didn't mention online) and figure out how to get the money into our account before we had to close it before we left the country. Well today he met us in Matamata (a nearby town) and took it for a spin, liked it, drove us straight to the bank where we got the money all sorted and put into Canadian dollars :) and then he drove us home and took the van with him! What a relief to have that all over and not have to worry anymore. Not that we ever really had to worry because God had it all in control. He knew what price we would get for it and when we would sell it too! Thank goodness!

Well, thanks for all your prayers, next step... get to Auckland, then Singapore, then Bangkok, then Koh Tao, then back to Singapore, then San Fancisco, then Edmonton!!!!

We think about you all the time, especially as a lot of the "crew" from last year are arriving now.

Praise God!
Have a wonderful time in Thailand. You've been in my thoughts and prayers often. I can't wait to see you both. Beautiful pictures of your last tramp. I'm itching to dao a little tramping too maybe in Alberta though. The tulips are started to bloom and the peonies are starting to grow. The puppies and kitties aren't sold yet and I have a few here for a few days:-) Love ya lots.
