On Our Way Again (Thanks, John!)

This was posted on by .

John was up making phone calls right away this morning to see if a mobile mechanic could come out. No one was available until this afternoon, and with hoping for Carlsbad, he decided he’d try to replace it! A place where we could purchase the hydraulic line was only a block from where we stayed last night. AMAZING! We drove over there and waited while John worked! It only took John an hour or less. Praise the Lord! We’ll still be ahead of the winter storm that will be hitting the Midwest, and Lord willing, we’re on track for getting to visit Carlsbad. We’ve teased a bit about the name being Carlsbad, not Carlsgood. John has really been looking forward to a special cave tour tomorrow afternoon. Looks like it’ll happen!

Rejoicing in our Savior,
Sarah

  1. I hope you get to see Carlsbad. We went there a few years ago with our children. It is amazing. Try to see the evening bat fly, if you can.

  2. Praise the Lord! And praise the Lord for such smart brothers! Way to go John! 😀 Good job! 😀 I am so glad that you all are going to be able to go visit Carls”bad” (which I think that’s so funny…it should be Carls”good” I think too!). 😉 HeHe! I hope the rest of your trip will be safe and more restful than your start! 🙂

    Blessings Maxwell’s and God Bless!
    Praying for you all the way!

  4. So glad the bus repair went so well. Our daughter is a cave enthusiast. Maybe you’ll finally be able to enjoy Carlsbad.

    Praise God for the blessing of capable children.
