We are still unable to get our truck. It is still with customs here. We are at their mercy for determing values, taxes and fees. We are waiting anxiously to get to the end of all this "red-tape" so that Steve can begin to work to provide for our family, for the ministry and for many other families that we are commited to.
If customs values the truck from the Texas Vehicle Registration (like they are supposed to do), then our figures puts us $1,500. short on funding. We will be grateful if this is how the numbers are. But, because of corruption here, we are very afraid that they will try to take advantage of us since this 1998 Freightliner is considered like "gold" here. That is why we are requesting prayer for fairness and justice and asking our friends to stand alongside us to the completion of this huge endeavor. We are tired of the unknown and fighting the corruption (which we already went through with the container, the motorcyle and even the mess in Chile to get the truck from there to customs here, in which the charges were more than double than what we were told and were supposed to be).
We look forward to getting this all over with. And if you say, "Was it worth it", we would say "yes", because we have already seen the benefits from the container and its contents of love. The motorcycle is our most reliable form of transportation. And the truck will help provide income to continue ministry. Thanks for standing with us.
