Last night Peter and I were dropping students off at a Church service about 45 minutes from Campus. Hiob arranged that only one van was needed for pick up and the church would transport the other students back. Since it was Ned's birthday and I was supposed to be having cake with the Farnsworths - I was going to drop and leave. Peter thought he might stay. So I took off right away after dropping. One student who just went for the ride noticed that the van seemed to be shaking. We stopped and looked at the tires. I couldn't see anything. So I decided I could go to a gas station or go back and find Peter whose cell phone has died. So I turned around to head back when shortly he passed me going the other direction. Fortunately we both saw each other and pulled over. I only noticed because the new Van which had been plain white until yesterday had Pacific Island Bible College on the side. Peter looked at the Van and he didn't notice anything either so he agreed to follow me. We were driving along and the shaking actually stopped. I thought hey we are in the clear. We stopped at a Red light and all of a sudden I noticed that the Van had no power. I was able to turn onto the side road but could not quite make it into the Mobile station. Orginally it looked like I was out of gas but that didn't make sense since it was full. Peter pushed the van into the Mobil station with the other van because even in neutral and 3 guys from the mobil station the van would not move. It appears it is a problem with the alternater. Peter took Percia and I back to campus and planned to pick up the van today. Fortunately that van was not needed to pick up the students.
