Car for Culp's!

Isn't she a beauty!?! That, my friends, is a 1992 Citroen AX...very tiny, cute, and very British!

AJ and I have much to be thankful for...and in recent days blessings have quadrupled! AJ and I are overjoyed to finally be planting roots at our church Woodlands Christian Centre, partly due to joining a Home Group (relative to a Honeymooner's...this time we're the younger ones! Ha.Ha.). At our first meeting last week, we met a bubbly lady named Hannah. Our first moments with her went something like this: "Hi! My name is Hannah...are you new here? Do you need a car?" It was hilarious!

Since then, we've been praying about this new-found blessing. Wow, us, with a car, in England? We never envisioned such a thing since being here and have been content with walking and biking (though today, for the second time this week, we both arrived to school/work completely soaked from the pouring morning rains! Gotta love England!). We have been happily planning our weekly hiking trips based on train & bus routes and schedules...so the need for a car was non-existent. However, ever since Hannah planted this in our thoughts...there have been visions of roadtrips, seaside trips, visits to obscure places, and camping trips...and possibly airport runs! (hint, hint).

So, this Tuesday, after much prayer, budgeting, and brainstorming, we accepted Hannah's offer. Our next challenge is...how on earth do we get it back to our apartment?! Ha.Ha. (AJ and I are going to have to practice driving at midnight in a parking lot somewhere!)

Cheers!

CUTE! How crazy that God just planted this in your life! What fun! It really sounds like you are loving it there. Hopefully we can come and visit you someday! :)
