Meet "Bailey"...

Devin started working at Outback Steakhouse a few months ago to earn money for (a) his own vehicle and (b) money for a mission trip to Jamaica. A youth leader and his wife watched Devin working hard and then racing to the church on Sunday's to still be there as a leader for the middle school. After talking with Devin one evening, Mr. M said he really felt upon his help to help Devin out. Little did we realize how much help he was about to give!

He contacted Devin later that evening and said he had a 92 Ford Ranger that Mrs. M bought brand new and was now only being used to haul yard waist. Asked Devin if he was interested... Devin said absolutely and asked how much... Mr. M. said "how's free sound?". Devin about peed his pants he was so excited!

A few days later I took him to see the truck and he fell in love! Mrs. M. explained to me that they were going to donate the truck to Goodwill, but they really felt led to offer it to Devin. They said he can now put his money towards other things including the mission trip that he'll be taking next summer.

He's learned quickly what expenses come with owning a vehicle.... inspection, battery, gas, title fee, registration, etc.! But he's handled it well and is thrilled!!! Devin has cleaned this truck inside and out and has affectionately named her "Bailey"!

We are so very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. M. for this gift they have given to Devin! May the be blessed over and over for the blessing they've given to Devin!
