Well, folks, we finally got our bus back after an extended stay at a repair shop in Toledo, Ohio. (Just for clarification’s sake, our bus was at the repair shop, not us.) Turns out we had to have a $34,000 engine replacement. So, after our trip to Uganda later this month we will have been out of our bus for about five months this year. Anyway, since we don’t generally have $34,000 readily available to dish over for an engine replacement, we are doing a fundraiser. So here’s the deal: we have some limited-edition (very limited) t-shirts that we are selling from right here on our website at $25, which is somewhat of a high price for a t-shirt, but really -if you put it in perspective- we have to raise thousands of dollars to pay off our engine replacement and you could help us out a lot by buying one of those t-shirts. Plus -since they won’t be around forever- you will have somewhat of a collector’s item, which will ultimately give you bragging rights. =) By the way, a little bit of important information here, the t-shirt simply says, “I’m glad I don’t live on a bus”. After all, with repair costs like $34,000, it isn’t difficult to be thankful you’re not the one paying off an entire bus engine. So, anyway, please buy a t-shirt so we don’t end up homeless once again.
Oh yes, and the answer to my last trivia question, that being: of all the Allens, which is the most accident prone?
And the answer is…..Jared
Jared has ended up in the hospital numerous times for all kinds of different reasons, most of which were not entirely his fault. Anyway, tune in next time to hear about our upcoming Uganda mission trip preparation. God bless!

Hello Abby!
That’s so exciting that you have your bus back now! Hopefully you will have smooth sailing for a LONG time before anything else goes wrong!
Looking forward to seeing you guys in Iowa!
We’re going to see you in Iowa? No way! Where at? Cedar Falls?
Yes! We’ll be at your Wednesday evening concert – see you then!
Despite the horrid expenditures and many frustrations, it sure was great to see that big black and gray monster in the parking lot last night! Y’all are a blessing everywhere you go and mechanical issue can put a damper on that.
