Surprise trip!

Our family was planning on going to South Dakota to share with a church there about Wycliffe. The visit went well, and I really enjoyed sharing with them. We're praying for more people to join in this work with us through prayer and finances as a result of this trip.
Before we left for SD, I(Jared) took the car in to have the oil changed. I was informed that we needed a new timing belt, because the car had reached the 105k mile mark, and that was the recommended time for replacement. It would "only cost about $800." AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! That's a bit more than we can afford right now. I told them thank you, and that I would call my mechanic and talk with him about it.
So, I called up a friend in MN and asked him if they were telling me the truth. He told me it was time for it, and that he would be willing to do it for us, if we paid for the parts. AMEN! But that meant we would have to drive up to MN. The cool thing was, we were already heading up to SD, and that's half-way there. In fact, from where we were, it was closer to drive to MN than back to CO. So, we are now in MN on a surprise trip to get the car fixed, which is saving us approximately $500. BLESSING!
We're praying for a church to share at this Sunday in MN, we'll see what God does next. If you have one we could possibly share with, we don't mind driving there(obviously... :) )
