So we got the truck back and the next day we returned the rental car. I noticed that something was wrong with the brakes on the way, so before we could take off, we had to, yet again take the truck in to get looked out. The mechanics did a little adjustment and we finally got on the road in the late morning. I didn't want to stop for quite a while but Eythan decided he had to pee. I was going to make him pee in a cup, but all of the sudden we started hearing a clicking sound coming from the engine. We took the next exit and let the kids potty and eat lunch. When we turned the truck back on the clicking sound was still there. Jon checked it out and could see that the serpentine belt was coming undone and hitting the hood, thus making the clicking sound. He said he thought we could probably make it home, but we decided since we were at an exit we would just find a Firestone (the place that has fixed us up more than we care to recall). Just as I typed in the coordinates in the GPS and we pulled out of the gas station...BAP!! The air quite blowing, the radio went out, all of the gages go haywire and the truck starts over heating. The Firestone is just .9 miles away so we drive like crazy. The fire stone was right in front of a mall so we hung out there while they fixed the truck.....again. We made it home a day later with out any further problems, but we need a new truck. Please pray with us.
We will be staying at a KOA in Arlington while Jon is doing training. We hope to bring what we've learned at North Gate to ours and other's church. I can't wait!
Thanks for your prayers on our journey. See ya soon!
Blessings,
Emily
