Broken Down & Stranded

[@Koolala75]

Just left Rhonda at RD a 5 star review! What a great lady..... Makes sense she helped you.... Like attracts like!

[@janicew6222]

The Lord is so Good and Faithful! Thankful you are now home safely.

[@lj4130]

Praise God! He takes wonderful care of his children

[@justinburch]

In my experience having traveled all over the USA living in a travel trailer, your experience in Georgia was not unusual. We had the same kind of wonderful experience after break downs in Nocona Texas, Sabetha Kansas, Spokane Washington, and Crawfordville Florida. Americans are generally really great people.

[@samanthadodd8112]

Just a blessing. God bless all those folks who helped u. I went to get my transmission fluid changed this weekend. The truck started making noise on the way to the shop. When I pulled in Corey from the shop asked me to open the hood and antifreeze was everywhere. My waterpump blew. They were so helpful. In 20 mins they gave me an estimate to fix it and fixed it in less than 2 hours. I was so grateful to the mechanics there. If anyone is in corinth, MS go to Express Oil. They have a 4.6 rating for a good reason. God bless them.

[@bettylansford]

Glad to hear you made it home to Florida safely. The Lord definitely was taking care of you! ❤

[@brendahaire8824]

Praise God you are safe and your truck was repaired. Haven’t been able to watch you lately. On November 12th I had a mini stroke. I was supposed to go to my mother’s in NC and take care of her and my brother. Of course I couldn’t go. On the 18th, mother (91) and Brother (69) were both admitted into the hospital. My brother had just gone through throat cancer and lung cancer. He had a seizure and he is now in a long term nursing home. Mother went into Hospice and passed on Dec 12th. Just asking for prayer as my sister and I go out to clean the house out. All the memories will sure to come back. ❤

[@karintolbert7452]

Brenda, I'm so sorry to hear of the sad events that have happened in your life and your family. And your Mom passing, ohh my, I'm so sad for you and your family. May the Lord bless and comfort you and strengthen you and each one in your family. Praying for you today. Love in Jesus, Karin

[@odahithedubious]

Our prayers are with you. May God grant you strength and comfort.

[@joshabby4268]

Glad you guys are safe!! Always great to hear we still have amazing people left in this world.. ❤️ God is good..

[@valeriebyers5227]

He is the Good Shepherd. I am praising Him for looking after you both and also reminding me He takes care of His flock. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰 I pray your health will keep improving Elizabeth in the warmer climate🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@mrs.c9174]

Hazel hurst is the best! ❤ You guys dodged a bullet for sure! Welcome back to FL. 🌴

[@darlenebarr9591]

I'm so glad God protected you in your home safe and sound

[@suzetterikard8311]

There's no doubt in my mind that God detained you all for a reason and we may never know what that reason is, maybe just to bless those people who were able to bless you. God works in mysterious ways, we just may never know ...I'm just so thankful you are all safe . God bless you . Hats off to the great town of Hazelhurst. Praise and glory to God.

[@keepit01]

I’ve traveled many miles with a heavy truck camper with my family and no matter how new your rig is or how you try to make certain everything is in the best shape possible things will always happen. Just like you did, you just have to overcome those obstacles and push forward. I’m glad it happened in such a great town and you made it home safe.

[@floefloe8925]

You two are magnets for kind people 😊! Glad you're both safe and sound.

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

You two are a blessing where ever God leads you. "The steps of a righteous man are directed by the LORD❣️

[@Marthacraftsandmore]

And thank you Jesus for the kindness so many people showed while you were stranded. Let’s remember to always be kind even if it means having to go out of our way to help someone in need. Happy New Year 🎆 🙏🏻❤️

[@bettyedavis5912]

When you see the bad things happening in the news every day, your experience helped restore faith in humanity. I believe that there is more good than bad in the world and that the bad are being exorcised. Your adventure was also a testament that God looks after his children. God bless and pray for warmer weather for the rest of the country. It is extremely cold here in East TN, but we haven’t lost power so far.

[@loriwhinery3210]

Praise the Lord! The Lord has people everywhere!❤️💖💜love you guys.

[@judyabernathy80]

You are certainly blessed! But, what you give out to others is what comes back to you! And, you two certainly do that. Glad you came through this in good order!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@justmaria5806]

I like stories with a happy ending! Couldn't have happened to two nicer or deserving people. Keep putting that positive into our world. Its so needed!

[@annaglynn7314]

Hi from the West of Ireland , we're in a very cold snap here this week , don't forget you have your Guardian Angels also who protect you always , ,God Bless ,Anne ,

[@joannaaustin278]

had many adventures with 5th wheels and trucks..but being Canadian and stranded in the USA people ..garages and tow truck folks looked after us and were so kind to us

[@CJAH-gc4ci]

My goodness! You never know what other people are going through. I would never had thought you and Elizabeth were stranded somewhere when receiving your kind text over the weekend. Glad people were helpful and you both are home safe now.

[@debbiegilbert1961]

Thank God for surrounding you with protection. Praise him for your safe way home❤

[@irisf.9355]

What a weekend! Thanking the Lord it all worked out so well for you. Especially meeting the nice helpful people of the town. You and Elizabeth are surely blessed!

[@dawnbritt870]

Praise the Lord for all his blessings on y’all. He mercy is never ending. Thank goodness for y’all are safe at home in Florida. 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

[@mawmaw9156]

What a Wonderful Testimony to start off a new year. It’s amazing the way our tests turns into a testimony.

[@imahick5723]

I love how both you and Elizabeth have made what could have been a negative into such a positive experience! Enjoy these winter months in Florida.

[@Nerd3927]

Great to find a reliable workshop that does a great job at a fair price without taking the opportunity to bill you for the rear end anyway.... Good to see so many nice people popup out of the woodwork when you are in need of help. Last time I broke down, that was just the same for me. There are so, so many wonderful people also here in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

[@hmp9468]

What a huge blessing from the Lord. He always watches over us. Bringing goodness out of devastation. ❤

[@joannecooper8397]

God is so good & He sent His angels to watch over you! Everything showed that He cares for you all! I’m so glad you are home, safe & sound! 🙏😊💜

[@brmelectric]

Glad you two are fixed up. What ever can go wrong, will. Glad your back runnin.

[@dgator3599]

So glad our Georgia neighbors helped you. That's why I love living in the south. So happy you are finally settled in. Welcome back to Florida!

[@kb8yct]

Very thankful that you are home safe and sound. Might want to have the wheel checked out on the other side too.

[@meganlalli5450]

Glad you made it safely! Years ago, i heard a sound like a stone stick in the hubcap. I didn't think much about it, drive about 450 miles that week, and on the way to visit a boyfriend sbout 79 miles away, i wad on the turnpike, hearing the now familiar stine in hubcap sound when all of a sudden, i felt panicked and knew i had to stop right away. I pulled off the hubcap, and the hub of the wheel was in the hubcap. That had been making the noise, not a stone. I didn't know ehat to do. Sone state workers were in yheir utility truck and stopped to help me as others whizzed past. They knew of a licak garage abd took me there and had the guy tow my car. They asked what made me stop, and i told them i felt i HAD to stop right then, so i did. The tow truck driver let out a low whistle snd saud, "Somebody's watching over you. Another mile, snd this wheel would have rolled right off the car." Ignorance is bliss, eh? This was before cell phones or the internet, and I was so grateful the state workers were willing to stop and help. The towtruck driver was also the mechanic, and he ended up knowing my boss, 35-40 miles away. Small world. A neighbor came to get me so i wasn't stranded. I gave thanks, because the situation could have been so much worse. I have never forgotten the kindness shown me in thst situation.

[@mikaboyer5593]

So glad it all worked out for you. You’re home safe and sound, and the repair wasn’t too expensive. You were certainly being watched over during that stressful time.❤️

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Thank you card to Ronda!!! Glad things were not too bad. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.

[@velmad5dilbert344]

Glad you guys are safely home. Praise God.

[@inezmcentire7271]

Happy it wasn't as bad as you first thought, and God took the wheel (literally) and guided you safely to that repair shop. Welcome home!! ❤

[@MarthaAnderson-jv8ph]

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me...all the days of my life. Thank You Father God 🩷🙏🙏

[@judithgrantham9039]

Yes..God always provides & keeps us safe! So thankful for that! He is with you! ❤

[@FrugalGal]

Y'all really went on an adventure. I'm glad it all worked out. The Lord was looking out for you guys!

[@lizbundick6334]

God is so faithful! His protection and provision is amazing!

[@brendasmith6983]

What a blessing for you both. Safe and at home. Praise God 🙏

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

God definitely had His hand over you both. All the people you interacted with just goes to show that there are still plenty of good people in the world. It restores faith in humanity when one hears of good deeds. Glad you are safe and sound in your winter home. God bless you both.

[@willymags123]

I'm glad you're all back home. I'm glad it wasn't too long, and the vehicle was fixed immediately. This is nothing for me.This is how I always drive. I Never known what it was like to have a nice vehicle. We had a neighbor destroying our property. In nc And he loosened all the lug nuts on our vehicle. We drove 60 miles on one lug nut.All the way home, God is good.. Fortunately. God has been very good to us.And He has sent many wonderful people along the way to help us out. And oh yes, I definitely remember the vehicle leaking the gas.I also remember the vehicle video when you broke down because of the fuel pump. till next time, God bless.

[@robyndowning2990]

Good heavens! I am grateful for your protection especially those 8 miles into town to Waters Service Center.

[@kathyhitt3197]

[@sueregan2782]

Happy New Year! Been missing you. Glad you found yourselves surrounded by kind people in your time of need.

[@beverlymichael5830]

Praise the Lord. You were blessed in the shop He directed you to and the cost of repair.

So glad you both are ok! God is great! What a blessings things turned out the way they did! God bless you both❤️

[@nomifyle]

We have so many blessings every day.

[@MikeV607]

Good to hear that it all worked out. Trouble on the road can be very stressful but life has it's twists and turns and we just have to deal with 'stuff'.... but it is a wonder that your front wheel stayed on!!! A guardian Angel was looking out for you! 😊

[@judye2805]

You said, "Do you remember a few years ago?" And I'm sitting here shaking my head, yes! You make us all feel so comfortable and feel like we're sitting right across from you. I'm so sorry to hear all about what you went through and so thankful for the way it all turned out. God was looking after you.

[@lisapender1751]

Wonderful story about an unforgettable weekend. glad that all turned out so well and you all are safe. Blessings to you!

[@JanesDough855]

When things go wrong, its best to not stress about it. I used to and learned to keep calm and work on a solution. Along with praying to God for support and guidance. It works for me everytime. Things are not always as bad as they seem. Glad you resolved your truck issue and are back in Sunny Florida! PS - the snow is pretty............in another State, just not here in Wisconsin. lol

[@TI14928]

Bill and Elizabeth you’ve had several experiences like this since I been watching thank God you both are safe but look at like testimony night God working through the difficulties in life

[@Vicki-mp6vc]

[@dstar945]

Oh my gosh! What a story. So glad to hear all worked out and you had wonderful people helping you.

[@claireburkus8497]

Nice way to start the new year….meeting helping hands along the journey whose hearts and actions are touched by God…and a time of praising the Thanksgiving for His goodness and care!!!❤❤❤ relax now and enjoy yourselves !!!

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Praise the Lord everything went well and you're safe!

[@patriciahagedorn5694]

I am so glad this situation was worked out and you guys made it to Florida safely. Thank you to Rhonda for all her help in making your stay at the hotel more comfortable. I was thinking you could have whipped up some of your Thrive food stocked in the RV. Keeping some in case of emergency would be a great idea. I'm so happy things worked out and you didn't have to sell your blood to pay for the repairs. It could have been a lot worse. Thank you God for looking after Bill and Elizabeth and keeping them safe. Enjoy the warm weather in Florida. It's freezing here in Texas.

[@pamelanowell1]

Wow. You sure were well taken care of! Thanks for the wonderful testimony. God is a good good Father.

[@stoneyvanwie6042]

Glad to hear you all came out well ! We just purchased a retired Penski truck ! After bringing it home I took it in for a second check with a mechanic I knew here at home. We found a front wheel on front that a bearing was starting to make noise so we replaced both for that reason ! Truly enjoy you content . Stay blessed !!!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We had this truck inspected about 6 months ago, just before we left on our trip out west last summer. Everything was ok back then.

[@stoneyvanwie6042]

@LiveSimpleLiveFree I had a vibration in the steering wheel that had me look again at mine. But found out the vibration was whomever balanced the tires had twice and more to much weight on every tire.

[@tkilg7169]

My wife and I know what you went through. We were staying at Fort Mountain Campground up near Chatsworth Ga., and we had our Granddaughter with us, as well as our two little dogs, when one morning I went out to start our diesel pick up, and the check engine light came on, and the engine sounded like a metal bucket full of rocks being violently shaken. I won't go into all the ups and downs that we had trying to unsuccessfully find a good diesel mechanic around that area, and we had to vacate that camp site, so we just hooked up our fifth wheel and headed down the mountain, even though our diesel had about 1/3 the power that it should have. We continued down the road toward Atlanta at a slow speed, when suddenly the engine quieted down and ran smooth again. The check engine light went out, and the truck ran like new all the way back to Tallahassee Fl. where we live. I later replaced several parts including the fuel control actuator which was the most likely suspect, and it's been fine for years now. So we know the feeling that comes with being broke down, and complicated by having a couple of little dogs with us, not to mention our Granddaughter. That panic that enters your mind, and you ask yourself, "now what are we going to do?" We put ourselves through a lot of anxiousness because of fear, and we should always remember that things could always be much worse.

[@Moolarkey]

So glad you are both ok.

[@lonniec1073]

OMGOODNESS ,what a remarkable adventure. Thank God for his tender mercies. I am so happy that you are both are ok. 🙏🤗💕💞💖🙏

[@breezegeddes7854]

So glad your home safe.

[@Peachy08]

Thankful you made it home safely! Got a speeding award in Hazlehurst about 20 years ago😂 God was definitely with you! Glad you got great treatment while there in my home state!

[@preppedforeternityhomestea2848]

Sounds like the Lord took good care of y’all! Amazing how He works all the details out. Praise the Lord y’all made it home safely

So thankful you’re home and safe!

[@colleenwilkin5705]

Prayers answered !

[@sueyork3348]

I’m so glad you got home safely! Praise the Lord! And thankful that the repair was done quickly and not as bad as you feared. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe someone watching this video will need to know about a car repair place or need a hotel in that area. The important thing is you’re home now and maybe you can take it easy for a day or two and just enjoy being in your home. God bless you! お帰りなさい！🥰

[@julianneheinlein9134]

Thanking God your safe and sound! You are in , My prayers for you and Elizabeth and your Family back home! God Bless you two are so special to me I am in New York it’s so cold and windy! 🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️

[@jamjar5716]

Yikes! When something like that happens it is so stressful! But after, when all is well, you look back at it as an adventure. I'm glad you're safe and back home!

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Praise God for watching over you. I once had a breakdown in Las Cruces, NM, while traveling west across the country. Spent a week or more in a motel waiting for parts and repair of our van. Then 14 years later my son was traveling the same route back toward the east and broke down in the same location. He was there for many weeks. Strangely he was driving the same van. I guess vehicles have favorite locations too.

[@ToniSmith-b8y]

Thank God you are safe!!

[@karenebarker9244]

I'm only half way through this video but wanted to comment. The relief on both your faces as you tell this story is so clear. We have been in equally stressful situations and understand. Now to finish the video for (i hope) a happy ending...Wooo Whoo Happy Surprise Ending! That was amazing!

[@veronicacirone9862]

Praise God for his provision and protection!! I watched before but first time commenting!!

[@aproverbshome173]

Happy New Year! Glad God surrounded you with His angels! and all the people who helped you!

Happy for you guys to get on the road fast and safe! You guys deserve 🙏 the best from above with all the kindness you spread all over. Glad you back in Florida 🌴🌴🌴 Virginia is for lovers!!❤

[@bonniepitts9670]

Quite the weekend adventure you’ve had!….glad you are safe, sound and warm.

[@pobo6113]

I’m so glad to hear that you both are alright and things aren’t as bad as you feared. Thank God that for His blessings. Just to let you know. When I saw your review on your frig - Setpower I looked into it. They were having a sale so I bought one. I ran it at home to check it out and really like it. It definitely does not draw much power. I know I’m going to like it a lot. Thanks. You be blessed.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

So glad you like it! We do too.

[@janebray9392]

God is so good and He is with His children!!! We had a light go on on the dash so hubby called around here in Yuma and found a guy to fix it and its ready tomorrow, some ignition thing and a frayed serpentine belt, $600. Whew! We just had the windshield replaced and it was $250, so a bit of cost...oh ya, and new tires on the travel trailer, but these are musts!!!

[@dawnstraughen755]

Praise God for all of his Blessings. Glad you are home safe!🙏

[@frank_III]

Good time to change the rear diff fluid..

[@alicesheeler1215]

Sorry,.Glad your choice of constructing of your van worked to some advantages and that your safe.God bless.

[@Anthony-ko3ep]

Glad your both back safe and sound. Enjoy your winter in Florida.

[@maryjaynejordan]

New tires and loose lug nuts put me in a similar situation on the driver’s front tire. I feel blessed that we didn’t wind up in the Missouri River when the 5th lug nut popped. Thank the Lord help was available nearby.

[@TSV167]

A wonderful testimony! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@keithl6249]

Sorry you broke down. It is a good reminder that anyone who travels needs to have a pretty good size emergency fund ( which I know you do ) Nice of that lady to help you get groceries. And of course your friend who gave you a ride.
