August 27

This is our first day of our first trip on the bookmobile. Last night we stayed at a RV Camp by Twin Falls, ID. Our first testing of our determination to continue our journey came before breakfast. Jim couldn't find his money clip, with all our cash, credit cards and his new CDL license. He had taken a shower in the public shower house and was so afraid that he left it there. When he went back to look, he couldn't find it. We prayed together about the situation. It was easy to think 'how can we continue with no money or credit?' God blessed! After looking for about an hour, he found it in his toiletry bag where he had put it for safe keeping. Praise the Lord! He does answer prayers.

We spent the morning working in the trailer, still trying to get organized. All along, we'd been thinking our first sale was from 7 - 9:00 in Provo, UT. About 12:30, we realized that it really was from 5 - 7:00. Oh, how we moved, finishing what we started and getting on the road. Finally we had to call and tell them we would be about an hour late, but would stay the 2 hours, no matter when we got there.

It really was only about 5:30 when we made it. There were a couple ladies waiting, very patiently. We had steady business and somehow, by the grace of God and calls to Betty Britten (Boise ABC), we were able to do it. We ended up with a 4 hour sale and very good sales. God is good! He can use and bless even us.
