Talk about amazing!

I haven't had very many things going on in my life, so I haven't blogged in a few days. But I finally have something worth blogging about. Ryan has been working in Oklahoma City for about one month. Sometimes he has to drive our little Toyota pickup all the way to OKC (100 miles away), and sometimes just to Chandler (about halfway) and rides the rest of the way with his boss. Well, he came in from work last night and said that the truck had overheated when he got off at the Sapulpa exit. SO it was hot for 5 minutes or less. I immediately started to worry that we would have to put more money into our vehicles, which we just don't have. But amazingly it didn't start to overheat until he was almost home. Well this morning, he drove our van to work and I went out and looked under the hood. I immediately noticed that the fan belt was completely off of its tracks. The belt was also VERY rotted and breaking apart everywhere. It looked TERRIBLE, see:

So I knew it was not going anywhere for a while. I called sister Amber T., who lives 2 blocks from the kids' school and I asked her if I could borrow her car to go get a new belt. She said absolutely. I then called brother Bill P. and asked him how to put in a new belt. He said that he would have to look at it because every vehicle is different. I told him I really did not want to bother him with coming over, but he is such a nice person, he wanted to help me. So I walked my kids to school (about 5 blocks) and then walked to Amber's house and got her car. I drove to the parts store and got new belt, drove back and pulled in at the same time as brother Bill and sister Marcelle. We opened the hood and he said it was going to be easy. We only worked on it for about 10 minutes and had it in! I was just so thankful that I have such wonderful brethren who truly care about us. We got the job done for just a little over $13.00 and 10 minutes. If that's not awesome, I don't know what is! The truck is good to go now! It is amazing that Ryan hasn't had problems driving as much as he has, and it is amazing that the truck only started overheating when Ryan was ALMOST home, and it is amazing that, with a little help from my wonderful brethren, it is fixed! It's turned out to be a great day!
