Stranded! (Maybe)

Greetings from Burley --we are on the road.  We left UND yesterday right after class ended at 9AM and by 2AM this morning we had been driving for 17 hours.  We kept awake by listening to lectures on Genesis and rolling down the window to admire the stars and Milky Way.  Going through the narrow Yellowstone Park road Anna's prayer was answered when she didn't hit a deer that suddenly crossed right in front of us. 

 

After the long hours in the car we were looking forward to getting to our motel in Jerome about 30 minutes away when the car stopped.  Two hours later, the tow truck came for us and we are now waiting to see if we will be on the road again soon. There are two possibilities.  1) It's just the timing belt, and we can be on our way in four today.  2) The valves were bent (or worse) when the engine suddenly stopped, and we need to replace the head. Scenario 2 is the more likely, they say, since we were traveling 80mph when it happened.

 

Pray!  We should know which it is in a couple of hours.

We thought we needed to be in CA for church tomorrow. God knows.
