Four new shocks for the truck. PTL!

What a long journey to replace the heart of the Dodge. It started two years ago when we lost a cylinder and the motor started to show its age. It is a blessing by God that it transported 13 teams, numerous trips for our youth group, and numerous trips to Comayagua to deliver clothing and much more to the poor people of Honduras during these last two years. Every team member has had a chance to ride in the back end of the truck and enjoy the smells of Honduras. But this year in September the truck finally died. Then the pressure of getting the motor shipped from Painted Post to Florida and then to Tegucigalpa took some time. Then it took two weeks to get the motor through customs and the paperwork started for another long process. We had a mechanic in line and he backed away because of his fear of not being able to change out such a motor. God had another mechanic in line as He guided Glenda to a shop that had experience to change out such a motor. Two weeks of fitting, changing parts and aligning, we finally picked up the truck this last Saturday! It runs like when we first bought it back in1999 and you can see by the photos the new motor installed and clean. The following weeks before we head home we will be driving the truck just in the city to break it in and also working on another long journey in changing the registration. We want to thank all of our financial supporters who donated towards the purchase of this Motor, Also we want to thank Chilson-Wilcox Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram in Painted Post for the donation of a reduced price for the motor, new seals and parts. Also we want to thank our Brothers and Sisters at Penn Ave UMC for donating a portion of their Christmas Offering donations towards the motor.

We are truly blessed by the Lord and thank you Jesus for your faithfulness!!
