Since arriving to the Dominican Republic, I have been blessed with the use of one vehicle or another. It has been a treat to not have to arrive and hurry up the process of finding and buying a vehicle. In my experience of purchasing vehicles it has been a daunting time but yet God has always provided the right one.
In the last month or so I have been having some difficulties with the two different vehicles that I have been using. It is more stressful to me when something goes wrong with a vehicle that is not my personal vehicle while I am driving it. This gave me the nudge or even push to be more active in looking for a vehicle to purchase. After listening to many different missionaries share their experiences in purchasing their vehicle here in the DR, it gave me information in what I should and shouldn't do.
I felt God opening up the door to ask some of the house dads at the Ark in Jarabacoa to see if they would be willing to help me. Two house dads were willing to help me in this venture of finding and purchasing a vehicle. I shared with them what I wanted in a vehicle, 1)within my budget, 2)reliable and economical, and 3)car parts readily available here in the DR. One afternoon, the two house dads and myself went and looked at three different vehicles. I was appreciative to hear their opinions about the cars. All three of us were in agreement that those vehicles were not the one for me. A little while later, the one house dad called me about another vehicle that they wanted me to look at. I was up on the north coast and said I would not be available to look at it until the following week. The house dads were a little worried that it may not be around that long. I said if this is the vehicle for me that it will still be there when I am available to see it. A week later the vehicle was still at the dealership. I went with the house dads to look at the vehicle and to test drive it. It is a 2007 Susuki Sx4. The house dads already dickered the price down by $15,000RD. They said that the car parts are readily available here in the DR and they believe it will be a reliable and economic vehicle. I test drove it and liked how it rode. I told the dealer that I am very interested in purchasing it and said it would take a few days for the money to be transferred. The dealer was fine to wait a few days.
The Friday after Thanksgiving, I purchased the Susuki Sx4. What a blessing. What an amazing experience and free of hassle. Very thankful and grateful to God and these two house dads for guiding and directing me to the right vehicle for me to purchase and use during my time here in the DR. Very grateful and thankful for my supporters who have given funds towards purchasing a vehicle. THANK YOU!!!!
