Phil's Truck

Last Saturday Phil loaned his truck to a friend for a few hours. Although our friend was careful not everyone else on the road is. While he was driving someone from out of town drove right into the side of the truck. Very little damage was done to the body of the truck because the rear tire received most of the impact. Actually the wheel was driven back under the load body almost to the bumper. Needless to say there was a considerable amount of twisting and bending done to the springs, bolts, etc. under the truck. At the scene of the accident Phil, Glenn, and Lester managed to get the wheels back into place enough to pull the truck home. Glenn pulled the truck with his little Golf and when we needed to go down a hill we attached another cable from the back of Phil's truck to the front bumper of my car. Gravity pulled the truck down the hill and I used my car as brakes for both vehicles. :-) I wish we could have gotten a picture that.

Anyway today Phil and Glenn Gault have started making the needed repairs to the truck, because as most people here in South Africa the other driver does not have insurance. Actually Phil and Amrie need another vehicle. The truck has over 600,000 kilometers on it. Help us pray about this need.
