Greetings from Camp Restore!
Well what a past ride this has been for the past 24 hrs here!Recorded 2 devotions for pastor and sent them of last night for today at school and for the voters meeting (all Immanuel was there ,right?) and started off today without knowing what the day would be hold......
At the job site we finished most of the tiling job that we started on Monday and I received the call from the dealer about the news on the LARKN5 that it was done and I could pick it up anytime!So after lunch Bill drove me over to the dealer and I paid for the van (365.00) for what I translated into a transmission service...Then I drove the LARKN5 to the used car lot not more than 1000 feet and looked at a 2003 town & country van ,you ask why? I just had a feeling that that could not be the fix.So after driving the other car ,the used car lot drove my van kicked the tires and then they drove it.When they got back they kicked the tires again and pointed out that the transmission was leaking fluid,bad...so they took it over to the dealer ,not more that 1000 feet away and had it re-looked at .....now I was told you need a new front seal!! And that will be 650.00 dollars more! ok those of you that know me know that I worked at a dealer as a mechanic for 11 years as a mechanic and went to Denver Automotive trade school back in the 80s sooooo.I told you that so I could tell you this (sorry Pastor) the LARKN5 is now no more!It has been traded in for a 2003 Town & Country though it will still carry the LARKN5 plate !
So this saga is now over YEAH GOD!and my lovely bride who took care of everything on the Illinois side and had to deal with ME!
Mean while back at camp restore - all seems to be calm ,everyone is having a very good time and seemed to settle in to there short mission venture..who knows what God has in store for the rest of the week,can't wait.
Oh ya, Jon seems to be relaxing just a little easier now to.And yes I'm flying home and Jon will be driving home in the "new" car!
