Day 7: Tuesday, 10/23/2001 |

Tuesday, October 23 2001 - We left Salt Lake City at 8:50 A.M. bound for Denver. While refueling at a gas station, we talked with two high school girls who, upon seeing our BfA cargo van, declared to us boldly, "God is great!" We presented them with our literature offering a free New Testament Recovery Version. We explained to them how easy it is to read this version and then showed them an actual copy. While we read to them the footnote from John 12:24, one of the girls exclaimed to her friend, "Wow, you can actually understand it!"
At 8:05 P.M. we gratefully pulled into Denver where BfA volunteers welcomed us and gave us a delicious dinner. Hiding
in Christ,

Frustrations on our trip are ever present, and we are in need of constant
prayer for the Lord's protection. Today we encountered strong winds on
the trip from Salt Lake City to Denver, especially through southern Wyoming
where sustained gusts of sixty miles per hour winds buffeted our vehicles.
At one point the strong winds dislodged the metal awning supports on the
outside of the motor home, causing the attached canvas to flap wildly
in the wind. When we pulled off the highway, it took all nine of us to
secure the canvas awning, roll it up, and attach the metal side struts
back onto the motor home—all in gusting winds and driving rain. We
had to stop two more times along the way to secure the awnings again on
both sides of the motor home. We thank the Lord that there was no damage
to either the motor home or the awnings.
