Blowout!

On August 11th, on the way to our Annual Team Forum conference at Lambarene, my car had a blowout! I was able to control the car ok. I can no longer bend my knee enough to change a tire. Friends started to help to change the tire but those tires are SO heavy so everyone was glad when a man in a passing car stopped and did the actual tire change. We drove about a half hour to a town where I could buy a new tire before we headed on our way.







After buying the new tire we traveled another hour and a half to get to the location of our conference. I ate lunch then went to get my car washed. While there two different people told me that my new tire had lost a lot of air!!! Next I drove to a close by tire repair shop where a hole was found in my new tire, like it had run over a nail!!!! My new tire was already flat!!!!! It was then repaired.



Praise the Lord that no one was hurt, that the man came to change the tire, that we were able to get to Mouila to buy a new tire and that we were able to get to Lambarene before the next flat tire manifested itself!!!

I was exhausted that night!
