H.E.A.R.T.  ~  E-News Update

The plot thickens

The unthinkable happened ...we had our second accident on Friday AM! In David's Land Rover! Jackson was driving and I was in the shotgun seat ...Tammy and Don and Pat were in the back seat. We were on Kiambu Road about 6:30 AM ...a man was riding a bike on the road to our left (there are no bike lanes) when he seemed to hit something (this road has many potholes) and began to wobble and then swerved into our lane. Jackson did not panic ...there were cars coming in the other direction ...he tried to swear to miss the man …but we hit him ...the bike and man went flying and the man hit our windshield and shattered it …on my side of the vehicle. Jackson saw a break in the on coming traffic and went off the road to our right and the man fell off our Land Rover and landed just beside us. Some pedestrians watching all this...pulled him off the road into the grass by our Land Rover. I had shattered glass on my face and clothes and two small cuts on my face ...and was spitting glass out of my mouth! The man was alert and could move ...the police came ...Tammy called Bob and asked him to come ...we were close by our home. I called Bob and asked him to bring my car …Tammy was very shook up ...Pat and her were both also in the first accident ...Jackson stayed with our Land Rover and went with it to the Police headquarters. Bob took Tammy, Don and Pat home.

I drove the man to the hospital in my car. He walked to my vehicle! With Police assistance! I called Dr Meshach and asked him to meet us at the Hospital ...Want to hear another miracle? The man was fine ...he complained of his chest hurting ...they could find nothing wrong, but I asked the doctor to order a chest x-ray. HEART paid his hospital bill as he is a casual laborer and did not have any money. He was released the same day when the x-ray came back normal! PTL!!

I drove to the Police station to give my report on the accident ...Bob and the Team came in a rented van as our other Land Rover is still under estimation as to what to do with it ...I went on to Kilaguni with the Team ....

We again are all fine ...just a bit shook up. Bob and Tammy stayed behind with Jackson to sort out the Land Rover, and had the windshield fixed before we got home today. I will attach a picture here. Sorry David this happened in your vehicle, but when we got home today it looks like your Land Rover is as good as before!

So we have had quite a time ...two Land Rovers needing repairs ...had to rent a vehicle to finish out this team...they leave for US tomorrow. Please pray with us for the funds to get our Land Rover back (or replaced) before our teams begin again in late February! I know it is Christmas time and our HEART Dinner is just around the corner, but wanted you to know what is happening here and share our need with you.
