The Little Engine That Could

So we had a bit of an adventure tonight (Wednesday). After giving adult classes tonight, a group of us headed into Managua to hang out. The six of us drove to Metro Centro, which is a commercial center in Managua. We got there at around 8:45, and unfortunately almost everything was closed, so we decided to go somewhere else. Except there was a small problem…the car was having trouble. The cap on the engine coolant tank was broken, so it wasn’t able to contain the coolant (in this case water) to keep the engine cool. We messed around for a bit trying to figure out a way to make the cap stay on, but couldn’t come up with anything.
We had to make it home, so we made our way to the gas station across the street, filled up the coolant tank with water, as well as filling up two water bottles with water so that we could refill the coolant tank if necessary. We started making our way back to the house, carefully watching engine temperature gauge. Somehow, I’m guessing by the Grace of God, we made it back to Monte Hermon, the little car made it, and I am thankfully safely back at home.

Tu palabra es un lámpara a mis pies y una luz en mi camino.
- Salmo 119:105
