Herrlinger Family : 2016 Winter Tour

My apologies everyone for making this post super late.

Our month long Winter Tour started out with our back axle giving out right outside of Birmingham AL. We were on our way to the We Care Prison Crusade when it happened. We were only about two hours away from our destination! Dad called a towing company and had them tow our bus to the nearest mechanic shop, which happened to be a half hour from where it broke down.

Then, while they were in the process of towing it, one of the wheel bearings burned up. It was then necessary to load the motorhome onto a trailer of a semi truck.

It was late by the time they made it to the shop.

I just want to tell you all though that God was so faithful on this trip. He provided all of our needs and took care of all our concerns. He was so good!

Some friends of ours were very generous and let us use their motorhome for the week of the AL Prison Crusade.

Time to transfer our stuff!

Smiles (or half smiles =) from the motorhome.

The Crusade was once again a huge blessing!

We saw so many men and women touched through the music, preaching and testimonies given by the volunteers. God was definetly at work in the hearts of the inmates. We all came away feeling blessed, encouraged and uplifted from the week.

Since we still didn't have our motorhome back by the end of the crusade, we were starting to worry a bit about how we were going to get to our next destination, which was Dothan Alabama. But the same friends which lent us their motorhome earlier were generous once again and offered to drive us there. Which for them, it wasn't all that bad because it was already on their way. Their destination was Florida, so it all worked out just fine!

As you can probably imagine, it was definetly a tight squeeze. Jamming fifteen people in one veicle, six of them being small children was a challenge.

Once we got to our friends in Dothan, it felt good to get out and stretch.

Believe it or not, this mound of dirt is an ant hill, not a gopher pile.

Everyone had lots of fun on this go-cart.

Biking!

Playing frisbee.

Later that week, us ladies went into town and did some shopping.

Smiles!

We also did some jamming.

Us and the Byrd children.

Thank you so much Byrd family, for taking us into your house and for the hospitality you gave us during that week long stay. You truely were a blessing!

Some of you may be wondering how we got back to our motorhome and got all of our stuff switched back in their original places. Well, that was one of the many examples of God's faithfulness to us.

While we were in Dothan, we happened to meet a friend of the Byrd's who owned a RV shop. He and Dad talked, and he offered to drive us all the way to our concert in Macon Goergia, which in itself was three hour drive one way. Then drive all the way to Birmingham so we could pick up the motorhome, and then that same night drive the four hours back down to Dothan.

God is so good! He provided for our needs.
