UPDATE ON MIDWEST

It has been 3 weeks since our accident. We are expecting good things this week!!! We are finally wrapping up with the insurance company. I know one thing from all of this and that is that I don't like Michigan's "no fault insurance". For being in an accident where we were just at the wrong place at the wrong time we sure took a beating financially. We had put nearly $3600.00 into the van over the past year. The mechanic said that we would have a hard time finding one in as good condition as that one was. The inside didn't look all that good but mechanically it was sound. It had only 20,000 miles on the rebuilt engine that we had purchased. We will not get anything close to what we had in the old van.

Anyway, enough of the old and we will talk of the new. I hope to be going to Iowa by the middle of the week to pick up our new van (1999 Dodge). This vehicle is owned by a Christian. We have talked on the phone a number of times concerning the van it sounds like it is a good one. He has all the paperwork on everything that has been done to it mechanically. He has been working on a deal on selling a house that would give him some extra money and along with that he has not given me a final price yet because he wanted to do the best he could do for us. We hope to be fairly close in price with getting the van and still be able to get the miscellaneous things done also. The trailer will need a little more work but overall things are looking much better. Thanks so much to those of you that were able to help us with finances and a huge thanks to all of you that have continued to lift us up in prayer.
