Thursday Night

So I promised to talk about Thursday night.

On Thursday night, we went to join a group at Santa Lucea for a devo. On the way there Gracie, our van, started making a horrible noise and broke down. The radiator overheated. We luckily had a jug of water that we poured on/in the radiator. We, eventually, made it to the church only 15 minuets late. We sat up front because the group was huge and there were no seats in the church, so everyone was facing us and singing. It was amazing. After the devo we headed to Tony Roma's for supper. It was about 10 pm at the time, so we didn't finish until 11:30. We started back and we broke down again. It was like 12:15 at the time, and we were pretty much out of civilization. Also, I was the only guy (except for Yovani, Marvin, and Luby.) Around 12:45, Ashley and I managed to flag down a truck of guys that had a barrel full of water. God is good! We were kind of nervous because Honduran men don't have the best reputation, but these guys took care of us. We started back, and Gracie started making noise again, but we prayed her back to Casa de Esperanza. Gracie is out of commission for now, but another van is supposed to be coming soon.

Hey there,
Just saw where Anna left your blogsite on the youth site. Hope you are doing well. Gracie reminds me of the first van we had in a youth ministry job. We pulled up to drop this kid off and the van door fell off in his front yard. Fun days. Anyway, take care, we miss you and we'll be praying for you.

Sorry to hear about Gracie. You confused me by calling her by name. (If you have done that before, I haven't had much access to internet to check your blog. I hope you're doing well, and I pray that the Lord would bless you in every way.
