The faithful Mitsubishi Truck needed some repairs. Oil was leaking from somewhere underneath, the CV joints were loose again and we were rapidly receiving a flat tire. We took a trip to MehDuGlow, a small village several hours east of BYT where there are 2 mechanics. They fixed the flat, however they could not do anything to help us with our other problems. The following Sunday morning we drove all the way out to LKY in order to take the truck to the mechanic in Mae Sot.
After the truck was fixed we planned to return immediately to BYT Tuesday morning, but alas, the battery went dead and would not revive. I remembered Micah telling me it was weak, so I returned to Mae Sot for a new battery. This finished we thought to go back to BYT Wednesday morning, however that day the 4 wheel drive broke all to pieces with accompanying loud noises. Sadly I must tell you that it was my fault for not knowing how to use it properly all this time! This made me feel bad, but that was compounded when I heard about another truck which did the exact same thing and it cost 100,000 baht to get it fixed. (Do the math, 30 baht = $1.00).
I gave my cares to the dear Saviour, paid my tithe, so that it would not get used all up, and took off for Mae Sot once again. This time the truck must stay for 2 days. When I went to pick it up the head mechanic told me that the entire 4 wheel drive (I believe the mechanics call it a transfer case), had been replaced. I timidly looked at the bill. To my astonished gaze I saw 17,950 baht! God was once again fighting for me! This I considered a huge miracle and I am still thanking God!
Now it is Friday and we decided to return to BYT Sunday. It is always difficult to get back to BYT. Satan has many tricks and traps and works desperately to delay the work, but with God at the helm, His work will GO FORWARD! Praise His name.
