The Chadwick Chronicles

Answers to Prayer

Praise God with us that he has provided for us here in Peru. We were finally able to purchase a car! Finding a used car is not an easy thing to do in a third-world country, especially one that we can trust isn’t stolen or have stolen parts. We quickly found that dealerships don’t sell used cars, but were able to find a couple of body shops that had a few dozen cars each. We selected what looked like was the best deal, had a Christian mechanic approve of the price, and with the help of our boss were able to purchase it within a week. We were amazed that the process of buying the car only took a few hours, which is amazing considering all of the red tape involved here.

After several days of driving the car around Jon opened the door and was greeted to an ear-piercing car alarm. We called the dealer to find out how to de-activate it and his response was, “what alarm.” We were able to figure things out and will soon have a remote to use. A minor inconvenience and a free alarm system.

We had another doctor visit last week and the baby is still safe and sound. We still have almost a month to go, but according to the construction workers that we had here last week, Elise is ready to pop. We now have everything completely ready for the baby except for a pediatrician.
