I have to tell you all about our weekend this past week. . .
First of all the bus is down, several problems with it... there was a small fire, we are not sure how it started but there was no damage and it was put out quickly, but that's not why the bus is down. We still have an air leak that we can not locate, but that's still not the reason we can't take it out. There is also a diesel leak in the generator which has a very steady stream of diesel shooting out of it while the generator is on...so with small fires and the leak we had to leave the bus in Tulsa.
We decided to hook up the trailer to my Tahoe and head out to Turpin, OK for our Saturday night concert. We arrived 2 hours later than planned but managed to start the concert only 30 minutes late. Everything went well. Our hosts from Turpin Mennonite Church were very gracious. The concert was held in the beautiful high school auditorium and a nice crowd showed up. They responded well to the messages in the songs and we were greatly blessed! We headed to Liberal, KS for the night without further incident.
First Baptist Church in Liberal hosted us for a Sunday morning service and we had a great time in the Lord!!! The crowd was very enthusiastic and God was certainly moving! It was wonderful to see many respond to the invitation to visit the altar for prayer at the conclusion of the service!It certainly appeared we had made it through another incredible weekend... until...the drive home!
We had a blow out on the trailer just east of "The Middle Of Nowhere" AKA east of Turpin OK! It was 103 degrees outside but we got it changed and headed on down the road. We dropped Stanley off in Enid and made it all the way to Sand Springs OK, almost home, before we had ... blow out # 2 on the same side of the trailer. Now this time we had to put a smaller tire on, and we were only able to drive 30 MPH back to the shop. What should have taken 20 mins took an hour. In all, a trip that should have taken 7 hours ended up taking about 9 hours. Needless to say we were exhausted! Please be praying the bus and trailer get fixed asap!
