Update on Our Car

Just this morning we received the call we had been waiting for. 

The call from the auto service center where our car has been since last Wednesday. It turns out that BOTH the 4-wheel drive transmission, as well as, the main transmission are in need of replacing! They were calling to ask our permission to replace them. (I must let you know that we had already wondered about the 4-wheel drive in our car since our first winter driving it but we thought it just might not be as good of a vehicle in winter as our Delica was. The main transmission has only very recently shown itself to be going out.) These repairs will cost $2,750.00. We really don't have a choice but to go ahead and have the work done since you definitely can't buy a car for that price! So, it is a bit of an "Ouch!" to our finances, okay, a big "Ouch!" But, we will trust that God will provide and make up for this money spent on car repairs. As I said, there is really no way for us to be without a car living so far out of the city. We were for over a year when we lost our first one to an accident and it was very difficult at that time, even when we didn't have to be in the city as often as we need to now. (One reason why we are going in to the city more frequently will be explained in another exciting post to come!)

We will also need to have some engine service done on the car which is what we had originally planned to do, well, right before the transmission went out! We called the service department to check about getting the car in to fix an oil leak have an oil leak. Since we also had a question about our transmission they told us to we had to take it to another garage where they can look at the transmission. That is when it all began!

Since we gave the service center permission to fix the car, they say it will be ready by this coming Tuesday, April 3rd. That's good news!

Thank you for your prayers! Please continue to pray for the work to be completed and for no further complications.
