The Car Dilemma
What are you doing with your car?
That is possibly the #1 question we get asked. No lie.
Well, the answer is simple. We're selling it. Yep, our Toyota Corolla is set to bring miles of smiles to someone else's face. A lot of people have asked us about the car and questioned why we would sell it since our current commitment in Liberia is only for a year. That is a great question and one that is going to be addressed further in a blog post later in the week. For now I am just going to say that we want to be able to minister freely while in Liberia. Selling the car is one of the many things that will allow us to do that.
All that to say if you know anyone in the market for a reliable vehicle. Let us know! It is a 2005, Toyota Corolla and has (or will have in a couple of weeks) approximately 120,000 miles on it. I'll try to put a picture up later. It's fantastic on gas mileage. We've gotten close to 40 mpg on the highway! So the benefit is twofold: someone gets a car, missionaries get helped out!
That leads us to this weeks prayer need: Pray that the Lord would send someone along to buy our car!

Monday Update
This past week in Hoover history...
We went on a little camp out at the East Fork of the Pigeon River with the Davis' family. It was great fun to go along on the OLD School backpacking resupply. Nothing like encountering 11 foul smelling guys and gals in the middle of the woods and loading them up with fresh food and snickers bars.
We're really starting to get into the nitty gritty details of getting to Liberia. We're waiting on our visas. We've started our series of oral typhoid vaccine. We're finishing up our sheet that lets everyone know how they can send us packages and letters. So much to do!
This next week we are heading back to High Point for a couple of days before heading to Marion for the water technologies courses. We're taking to the highway again, but we are ready to continue on this journey and finally be heading for Liberia on October 30th.
Here are few pictures from this past week:
Kyle (still not quite awake yet) awaiting his extra cheesy cheese grits.
I'm recalling all of my backcountry cooking skills. I love the MSR whisperlite!
Someone ate too many rocks and dirt then proceeded to fall asleep. Camping is tough.
The OLD School girls enjoying breakfast at the East Fork of the Pigeon River
OLD School boys pounding the nutella. It's like a nutella ad. Everyone looks so happy!
We've had a wonderful time visiting our SWO family. It's been fun to catch up with friends and share more about Liberia and the work ahead!
