More scooter problems

Well here we are again. This morning (Thursday) Hannah woke up sick with a sore throat and headache. I went ahead and got ready to go to school and when I was not quite half way there the scooter stopped accelerating. It slowed down and I pulled over to the side and turned it off. After waiting for about 5 min I started it up again and tried to go, but it would not go anywhere. After about 10 minutes of trying I called Brian, he called Brother Liu who had helped us buy the scooter. He said he would come find me. I saw him drive past and then a few min later Sister Leo came I tried to tell her what it was doing; she got on and started it right up and took off. I felt like an idiot that I had called all of these people and it was just going to work. 

Brian called again and I told him again where I was and he came and found me and I told him what happened a few min later we saw Sister Leo coming back but she was going really slow then stopping going for a little while then stopping, there was defiantly something wrong with the scooter. So while I was sad that there was something wrong at the same time I was kinda glad that I wasn't just stupid and there actually was something wrong with the scooter. 

She called the shop where we bought the scooter, and they came and towed it back to the shop for repair. Brian gave me a ride home since class was almost over anyways. Maybe sometime soon we can go more than a few days without having scooter problems... Maybe. 

About 2:30 Brian called me and said the bike was fixed and sister Liu came and dropped it off for us.

We can't thank the friends enough for all of their help. Only among Jehovah's people can such kindness be found. Daily we thank Jehovah for our wonderful friends who take care of us no matter where we are. Our international brotherhood is truly beautiful.

We are also happy to report that Tim and Jamie are back safe and sound from China. We had a nice evening with them catching up.

Since it is nearing the end of our first month here, we now really have to buckle down in our search for an apartment.

We will keep you all posted on any interesting developments. 

Love, Phil and Hannah
