Car Trouble

Ironically, I mentioned a few days ago that I needed to begin working on our car to prep it for our travels.  Well, Saturday our car decided to take a short break from driving.  On Saturday Lorena rolled into a parking lot and turned the car off.  When she tried to start it back up, nothing, nada, not even a click.  So as a former wanna-be-mechanic I pulled out the jumper cables and got it running again, only for it to die a second time while at the bank. 

This problem plus a rapid loss of oil pushed me over the edge to decide we weren’t going to take our car to visit Victory Baptist in Reading, PA.  Fortunately I had asked some friends of ours, Josh and Rachel Steinmetz, if they would like to come along with us to visit this church.  They had already agreed, so I called Josh up to ask if we could to take his car instead.  

To make a long story short we got to Victory Baptist and had a great time getting to know some of the believers there.  We especially got to know the teens since we stayed after the service to play a few games with them.   Yesterday, I stopped by the mechanics (Earlington Transmission where I used to work almost nine years ago) and picked up our car.  All the car needed was a new battery, and apparently my mechanic skills are not that great after all.  The last time I did the oil change, I left the drain plug a little loose.  So now that our car is fixed we can make it to our next church in Norristown, PA.  Fortunately it’s not too far away.
