In Honduras the word choque usually means an automobile accident. Last Friday, (3/5,10) Daniel Melton had a “choque” in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Fortunately no one was seriously injured. However, the other car was damaged beyond repair. Daniel had to appear in court on Monday following the accident and it was a miracle that the court process was not corrupted. Following is Daniel’s email to everyone.
Dear Friends,
Just an update about how good the Lord is. As many of you know I had an accident last Friday where the police said it was not my fault but expected someone in headquarters to change some of the details of his report to favor the other person. Today, the lady who was in the other car and I had to show up before a judge for her to tell us who was at fault for the accident. At around
Saturday and Sunday I had asked a lot of you to help me pray that the report would not be changed and that the other people no matter who they knew wouldn’t be able to change the facts. God did just that, the policeman even made a drawing of the accident and it was perfect or just exactly how it happened. The lady was not to happy because now she will be paying her own medical bills because they don’t have insurance. But there were statements made that “it was the gringo’s fault so he was going to have to pay for it” – Thank the Lord not true. I do still have to pay for the deductable, the wrecker bill and for the parking at the place the vehicle was towed too. All coming to the sum of around $600. Pretty expensive for not being my fault. The lady at fault does say she is going to appeal the decision but the lawyer that the insurance company provided told me there is no way she can win – I trust that is true.
Anyway, Thanks be to the Lord for not letting the police reports be changed!!!! Thank you so much for helping me pray.
Daniel
Please pray for the Meltons during this tough time. This shows just how important it is to pray for our missionaries ALL the time.
