BibleTech or BUST: Houston, We Have a Problem
2 Apr
Written by: Dony & Kathryn Donev
Volvo’s brakes began making strange noises as soon as we departed from San Francisco after the BibleTech conference.
By the time we crossed Death Valley and reached Las Vegas for our Palm Sunday service with the Bulgarian Church there, the metal brackets were grinding on the rotor disk, but we had only a day for the services and no time to bother with mechanical problems.
So, we left for Texas after the service crossing Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
By the time we reached Amarillo, TX there was barely any metal left on the rotors. The friendly folks at Firestone in Amarillo changed the brake pads in less than an hour. What a pit stop!
Unfortunately, they could not find rotors for the Volvo in the area, so we departed for Houston and with the Easter service next day. We drove those 600 miles as careful as we could.
The morning before the service, we left the Volvo at Just Brakes and headed to service. And while we were ministering to the Bulgarian people in Houston, the Volvo was also resurrected in the pit stop for a new life on the road with new rear brakes and rotor disks.
And thus, we were able to continue our journey through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama reaching our next ministry location in the great Atlanta area. Special thanks to Firestone in Amarillo, TX and Just Brakes in Pearland, TX for the prompt and friendly service.
