The sick patient. |
Last Tuesday evening, my husband, David, was on his way home from the city when the transmission of our car basically went out. He was able to drive it the rest of the way, as long as he didn't exceed a certain speed that required the car to shift into third gear. It has an automatic transmission. We had been noticing some differences in the car's performance and were hoping to make it to next month (April) before we took it in for repairs. Sadly, we didn't make it until April! Our car has been in the repair shop since last Wednesday. We have been calling to check in and make sure progress is being made on it. Today, the secretary, with whom David had talked earlier this morning, went in to the mechanics in order to inquire of the status of the situation. When we called back later we found out from her that the mechanics had removed the transmission from the and were currently performing diagnostics in order to understand what exactly is wrong. She said that so far they had found "multiple problems" with the transmission.
Please pray for us in this matter that the whole process can be resolved as quickly as possible since David needs to go into the city about every day now except Wednesdays and Saturdays. We are covering bases for another furloughing missionary as well as other outreaches we have in the city. The bus schedule from the village is not the most convenient to work around and therefore causes us to waste much time getting into the city, as well as, causes us to get into the city sometimes hours before we need to be there. Also, please pray for the repairs to not bee too expensive. The "multiple problems found so far" has us a little lot concerned. We do have other projects we need to put our money into rather than our car.
Thank you ahead of time for your prayers! We will keep you updated!
Auto problems can be such a pain. We're blessed that my husband is a mechanic. Praying they're able to fix it quickly and that they don't rip you off.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jen! My husband can fix about anything except a transmission! Not much you can do about something that big! :(
