This morning we set up our distribution table outside a Wal-Mart store in Eugene, Oregon, and had a good time meeting some dear families. We were situated next to a group of Girl Scouts selling cookies, and it seemed as if we were getting more visitors at our table than they were.

• A volunteer who had moved to Eugene from Texas a week ago spent some time getting to know another family who stopped by the Bibles for America table. At the end of their conversation, the visitors exchanged phone numbers with our volunteer because they were interested in reading the New Testament Recovery Version together.
• On two or three occasions, people received BfA brochures, started reading them in their cars as they drove away, decided they wanted the Bible, then drove directly up to our motor home and filled out the request cards in their cars. We walked over to deliver the Bibles to them. It was as if the motor home was a “drive-through Bible-mobile.”
• Some passersby who picked up brochures at our table did not choose to receive a free Bible then. But when they got to the parking lot where the motor home was parked, they stopped by to get Bibles after reading through the brochure.

In the afternoon, we drove two hours to Roseburg and arrived around two thirty. We gathered with some area volunteers at a Wal-Mart store in Roseburg for an hour and a half of distribution.

• On the way to Roseburg, a young lady stopped to get a cup of coffee at the gas station where we stopped. While she was looking at the motor home a volunteer approached her to offer her a Bible. She was very excited to receive the Bible. The volunteer told her where we had been on this tour, and she very much wanted us to come to her church the next day to give out Bibles. The volunteer told her that we were on the road traveling and could not stop but gave her brochures to hand out to members of her congregation.
  

In total, we distributed 173 Bibles today. In the evening, we enjoyed a pot luck dinner with volunteers and spent the night in Roseburg.
