Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

In an earlier post, I told you how our car is getting demon-pounced, or so it seems.  So, has something broken this week?  No.  Last week?  No.  Hey, 2 in a row is an accomplishment.  Turning to the repairs to be done, I just ordered a new suspension system from Dallas, TX because the cost to get something that’s just okay here, can buy and ship me premium goods from there.  I went with Old Man Emu shocks all around and replacement rear coil springs for our 1994 Toyota Hilux Surf* from Toyota of Dallas for cost AND shipping totaling $740.00.  Big one-time costs are very challenging for faith-supported missionaries.  But, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

I just hope the parts get here before it’s time to leave for our branch conference.  There’s a two-hour stretch of unpaved, atrociously rocky road just before the Kenya border.  Come on Old Man Emu!

*Just to let you know, the Surf is the Japanese-market 4Runner.
