September 14 (evening)
So today was another day of driving. We left from Luke’s house at about 9 and started towards Dondo where another of the Snider’s friends lives. Janine, she is fun. She has lived here since 2003. She came on a short term trip and decided to stay just like Robert, Luke’s friend. I will learn more about what she does here in Moz but for now all I know is that she hosts teams and works with schools here to train teachers. Janine was a principle of a school in Denver before she came here so she knows what she is doing.
Our journey here was not as uneventful as yesterday. Everything was going great, the road was smooth and the car was not bottoming out as often. The only thing was that Amani wanted to get out so he was upset. The road was smooth for a time and then random pot holes started to appear. They were in weird places and seemed to be hiding. One got us; it was so big that Steve would have had to swerve off the road into children. Before I go on, I just have to say how grateful I am to be riding in the car with a driver who can miss 99 out of one hundred holes in the road. So, anyway, one got us and we had to pull over. The tire got destroyed, there was about a 5 inch square flap ripped out of the tire. As Steve was changing the tire the jack broke and the car fell. Now we are in trouble. We are in the middle of nowhere and I don’t see any cars coming. I just started praying. Praying and praying! Steve started to fix the jack and got it put back together. Just as the jack was coming back together Sarah flagged down a truck. The guys used their jack and rocks to get the car high enough to put the spare on. Wow, can God answer prayer or what!
We got back on the road and were off. We made one more stop for gas and a new spare tire. We were in a town and all the kids and adults came to the car to sell fruit and nuts and just to look in the car. Steve used some of the kids to help him lift the car to get the spare back under, in its place. We made it the rest of the way without anymore big things happening.
We are staying here for two nights and seeing all that Janine does here. I believe after that we will have 2 more days of driving.
Thank you so much for all your prayers, know that I am having a wonderful experience and learning so much about myself and my relationship with God. I have experienced so much growth in 3 weeks, what else can God do. Praise Him every day for all that he does.
I love you and hope to hear from you soon!
