Van update

We have had so much trouble with our van..and it has been the same problem. Here is the story May we had it fixed in WV, then in Greenville in September, we had problems in WI, broke down again in October coming home from MN first in WI then in Ohio just before we got to the WV (yes twice int he same trip home). Each time it has been this box that holds the electrical computer house for the van. And each time it had leaked when it rained and caused damage. So in WI we spent two days in a hotel waiting for it to get fixed we were thankful the Lord made it a convenient exit where we were able to find a Ford dealer across the street from our hotel. It was also nice that the hotel we were stuck in had a heated pool. Then in Ohio we were able to make it off the exit by drifting. Mike called Enterprise right before they were about to close and they had no one to "pick us up" but Mike was able to walk the mile to the store and get a van for us to go home in for a good price and while there he had a great opportunity to share the gospel with the lady there. The next day we borrowed a truck rented a trailer and had to go back to pick up the van. Mike was able to see the lady again again and give her a salvation book called "Done" which she was going to read on break that day. We dropped the van off at Ford and they had it 2 wks before we got it back. All in that time we prayed and looked for a new vehicle. It was finally fixed on Tuesday morning Mike went right from picking it up to an hour a way where we had found to vans online. Mike spent many hours looking at vehicles in that area, but we didn't have peace about it. We figure it was the Lord's way of telling us to keep the van for now. So then we drove it to PA Wednesday morning. We are thankful we haven't had any problems since...even had some rain :) On our way up to MN we did see a lot full of 2008 vans fully loaded at a really good price so on our way back home in a week we plan to stop in there again and look. Titus is glad he really likes our van (Mostly the DVD player) we all like it and we have put a lot of work into it now...tires, belts and such. So even though it has passed the 100,000 mile mark we know it and what has been done with it. So there is always a risk in getting something new so we are just continuing to pray for the Lord to give us wisdom in this area and in his time to show us when to trade it in and get something new.
