| | Last Thursday, Katy and I take off on what we think will be a routine trip to Gombe and back. Gombe is only about 3 1/2-4 hours away. Going there Thursday, coming home Friday. There are some friends there that Katy wanted to say goodbye to. We had our mechanic check out the truck Wednesday because it was making some weird noise after some Nigerians had taken it out over the weekend before. He fixed it and we headed out the next morning. We made it about 20 minutes outside Gombe and the fanbelt breaks. We call our friends in Gombe and he comes and tows up back to their house (not fun, I don't like driving like that) and he fixes it. All is going fine, we are enjoying our time with them and they take us out to their village. We get back to their house and eat lunch (this is Friday now) and start our drive back to Jos. We get halfway home when the fanbelt breaks....again! So once again we are stranded on the side of the road. By the time someone gets to us to fix it we cannot make it home because it is too late so we have to stay the night with a pastor friend that we know and work with. Luckily, Nigerians have no problem with you dropping in on them and needing a place to stay. We spent the night and then got up in the morning and finally made our way home. Just can't go anywhere without getting a good story out of it I suppose! :)
