Paying Duty on the Expedition

Hey! Well, I've got some wonderful news to share - another miracle with our vehicle.

We finally took the new vehicle up to the northern border to pay duty on Tuesday. You will NEVER guess how much they had us pay. Let me tell you the story.

We called the border a few weeks ago to get an estimate of how much duty would be for the Expedition. They said at the most it could be $13,000. So that is when we began to pray and ask for prayer and write letters and stuff. (Thank you for your faith... you'll see what God did...)

We went to the boarder Tuesday afternoon, after waiting FOREVER we finally got the vehicle assessed and they valued it at $14,000. (Duty is paid is 72% of the assessed value of the vehicle). After a series of events we finally finished the entire process and brought the paper to the customs boker. The end of the story is: we ended up paying ONLY $2,800bz ($1,400us)!

Can you believe it???? What a miracle huh?! We're still amazed about the whole situation and have seen the hand of God move on our behalf.

Just thought you'd like to hear the story of how God answered your prayers! We are so grateful!
