A Divine Detour...Off The Itinery! Oh, well...!

Yesterday on our way to Christchurch our car broke down about 30 km outside of Hamner Springs.  We left a trail of oil and were smoking from under the hood.  The hood was up and a kind couple, Henry and Rose, stopped to help.  Henry commented that it was transmission fluid and that a hose became deconnected or that the hose below the radiator was damaged.  We were all able to hitch a ride from this Maori couple, who were so precious to stop and a true God sent.  Rose, a believer, shared that they were going to meet their adult daughter and family for dinner.  They delayed that dinner meeting to help us.  They stayed with us until Hinehau had conformation about the rental companies ability to help us.  What a blessing they were.

Lue found a backpacker lodge to stay in that night.  It was gettng late an a pasta restaurant allowed us to order even though is was near their closing.  What favor...thank you Lord!  As we left the restaurant and headed toward the lodge down the street, the unique cloud formation caught our eye.  Hopefully, we can share a few pictures on the blog.

Thank you all for your prayers. We love you so much!

The next morning we thought we would be getting a new car delivered to us, and then head for Christchurch.  However, they were able to fix the car problem and returned it to us.  Yeah, God!  The new car would have been smaller.
