Carney's preparations for serving in South America

Thanks for checking out our blog! Here is where we'll chronicle the "learning opportunities" God provides for us as we seek His will in partnering full-time with Christian Veterinary Mission in Bolivia

Killing time

What to do when faced with at least 3 hours of enforced stillness? Tell you about our last few days I suppose.
The water pump went out on my truck this am as we were leaving Amelia Island. God provided well for us though, we pulled into a gas station just as it started to make a funny noise and were blessed by a true service station who called a free tow service and very nice mechanic shop. They hopped right on it and had parts ordered in the first 15 minutes we were there.  They estimated 3 hours! Praise God! We were debating about trading the old clunker for a different old car together home, but their estimate was reasonable.
Next blessing? We were walking distance to a wing place with pool tables and wi-if, so can kill time well.
Next one? We were planning to have a short visit this afternoon with Dr. Dorminy on our way back to Athens, but now they have opened their home to us to spend the night and finish the drive tomorrow!
Why were we in Fernandina you ask?
After we enjoyed some great fellowship in Albany and saw college friends in Albany and Tifton, we canoed overnight in Okefenokee swamp (pics to follow, camera is in the truck on the lift). Sunburned and filthy we realized we were less than an hour from the beach, so we headed over! Caleb always wants to go to the beach, though usually just for a day, so this was a nice spontaneous surprise before moving to a landlocked country!
Pray for the rest of our week as we have many miles left to cover, places to share our ministry and a family reunion yet to go! Trying to raise the last bit of support/partners we need to be landlocked!
