Day Eight

Well, day eight is coming to a close. The car was at the mechanics today and he couldn't find anything wrong with the clutch. He changed the transmission oil and he put in a synthetic additive to help lubricate things better, but he said he couldn't determine why it sometimes makes a strange noise. He didn't think it was serious, so on we go. We managed to do some laundry today and Hope did some school work...finally!
Tomorrow morning - early I hope - we will set out for the border. All our paperwork is done, so all we need to do is drive across. They will probably want to search the car, but that should be it.
We are hoping to get to Tampico by mid-afternoon, but we are uncertain how good the roads will be. We think it will probably take us three days to drive across Mexico to the Guatemala border on the west coast. We could probably do it in less time, but it is tough to find centers large enough to be sure they will have safe lodging.
We have been enjoying our time together and aren't driving each other too crazy...yet! PTL! We are also feeling peace about our journey, which is huge! We are thankful for all of the prayers that are being offered on our behalf and can feel the coverage with every move we make. We are amazed at how good God is!
Until tomorrow...blessings!
