Arrival

We arrived. Lynn says van was purchase went perfect. It was ready and waiting for Lynn, Kim and Kevin. We arrived the next day and Kevin guided us through customs. For future reference, there is a form we can get from customs ahead of time that will allow us to pass through customs without paying duty. We paid duty on the gifts, but it wasn't a lot. The customs folks were actually disappointed that they had to take the money from us and wished we had gotten all the paperwork done ahead of time. Christ's hope (Walter, Josh from Apex, and John) met us with a truck and an extra van.

The caravan to the Ark was through beautiful countryside. It rained a little at the beginning of the drive and as the sun went down there was a rainbow. Amazing gifts.

Once we arrived the children were gathered and sang us a bunch of songs. We introduced ourselves and then we all came together in an amazing welcome. We went outside and presented the new van to George and Anna-Marie. The kids were running around in celebration. There will be pictures posted soon.

We were planning on church early the next morning and soon went to bed. The accommodations are very nice.
