What's that black smoke? The Engine Dying? Wonderful

Okay so we were suppose to leave for Port Hedland, 10 ish hours from Carnarvon on Saturday morning.. yes last Saturday. We arrived Thursday night. And now its story time.
So last Friday night we packed up and then the next morning we cleaned and took off. Carnarvon is litterally 6 hours from the nearest big city .. when I say that I mean still smaller than St. Thomas. So like 2-3 kms outside the city Karla (leader) turns around and it like.. crap whats that then the bus dies and we roll of the road. "Andy! get up here" Karla yells.. so obedient young Andy makes his way from the back of the bus to the front where Karla and I are. He lifts the latch the engine (he's all good with cars and stuff, hense the importance of him coming up) and the bus filled up with black smoke so we evacuated. So then for a while we're throwing a foot ball around int he middle of no where on the side of the road waiting for the verdict from mechanic / car doctor Andy... ding ding ding - cracked radiator.. wonderful. So we get picked up by the family that was helping us out during our stay and thats a long story so they took us back eventually. So lots of phone calls and stuff adn then we find out no chance of leaving for 4 days.. ya that wasnt fun. We already lost a few people because the went up early on a greyhound to work a church camp while the rest of us stayed back. so we were a smaller team now.. YMT and YP DTS joined then mingled and divided in a mix of both again. So we waited and packed up again Monday night .. cleaned up the church again tuesday morning adn then we get the phone call that there is something else wrong and its taking longer to fix the radiator than they thought because well the town of 7000 is limited in resources.. and people.. and then the next day we get confirmations that there is something wrong with the gasket head or something car like in the engine that cant get fixed for a few weeks. So we wait.. and we wait.. THEN FINALLY wednesday.. the base sends a bus up for us.. and we got to leave this morning.. thursday.. at 7:30 am ish.. to actually get to Port Hedland.. oh happy day.
Dont get me wrong.. the days we spent bus less and waiting in Carnarvon were amazing.. shark fishing, snorkeling, seeing the blow holes (missionary work is rough haha jk.. it actually is.. this was our day off) were incredible, playing soccer and teaching skills at the highschool, basketball practice at the school, hanging out and watching movies, chilling with the youth from the school it was amazing. Some of the best days.. and God really showed Himself faithful to get us here so it was really cool, long wait with very little knowledge actually passing through our heads each day but it was good. Lots of bonding and we're finally here.
Only a week and half left of outreach! Can't believe it.
Thanks everyone for everything
PEACE
