Stranded...in Maryland

What a trip this has turned out to be. We left last night to spend a weekend with Scott's sister and are suppose to speak at her church this Sunday. On our way, we pulled off the freeway for gas and some coffee. As we approached the end of the exit ramp, we started hearing some "not so good" sounds coming from the engine section of the burb...the is short for Suburban. As we pulled over to investigate it more, it grew louder. We ended up getting a hotel for the night and calling his sister to let her know that we would not be arriving at 2 a.m. as we thought. Scott started calling mechanics in the area first thing this moring to see if they could fit us in and inspect further. The results...they can fix it but the part will not be here until Tuesday morning at the earliest and the price...$1500-2000. Ouch!!

Cindy, Scott's sister, is about 2-2 1/2 hours away and is coming to pick us up. We will stay with her until the burb is fixed and then she will bring us back and homeward bound we will be. We called MMS and they are so great. They said not to worry about it and they will see us when they see us. What a blessing to work with such great people. Bless you guys!!!!

Last weekend I fell and hurt my ankle. It is still swollen and bruised. New bruises everyday, it seems. Pain is still pretty strong at times and I am keeping it wrapped and elevated to hopefully help it to heal. Please pray for me and for the healing of it. I have not went in to have it checked out as we do not have medical insurance. I was hoping it was just a little twist/sprang. I still hope that is all it is.

Please pray for us as we are trying to enjoy the journey but are feeing like we are at the center of the enemies attacks. He always thinks he knows just how to hit us but we know we serve a BIG God and we are victorious through Christ.

Bless you all,
Lela and boyz~
