Bonjour,
 
Joe made it back to the mechanic with the vehicle this morning.  They pulled the radiator and sent it back to the radiator man.  Joe came home in a taxi.
 
We did school this morning.  We are glad that it is Friday!!
 
The kids and I took a nap.  Joe went visiting with Charlie. 
 
Then, Charlie took Joe to the mechanic.  Joe got some bad news while he was there.  This head isn’t any good either; that is what caused the top of the radiator to blow off.  Joe called the guy from whom we bought the head.  He said that our warranty expired yesterday.  Joe explained that the vehicle has been at the mechanic this whole time and that yesterday was the first time he had driven it.  The man is not wanting to give us our money back.  Please pray that it will all work out.  We really need that money so that we can pay for a different head.
 
Joe is going to go to the border by public transport tomorrow to renew the car papers.  Please pray that he will have a safe trip.
 
A demain,
 
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
