Jon knew a family there from his mission who opened up their
home to us. We had such a good stay with the Simpsons! Our stay was short and sweet, and we forgot
to take a picture. Boooo!

| This is a picture of the Spunky Simpson Gals that I stole off the internet. They are each amazing and we had a blast getting to know them! |
We headed out around lunch time and FINNALLY made it out of
Texas!

| 320 miles: 7 hours in the bus |
We stayed the night at one of Jon’s
mission companions house Chris Hales. His beautiful wife just had a baby a few
weeks ago, and they let us stay anyway!
They are awesome, and we had a great, and again SHORT stay- Too short if you ask us.
We got back on the road again—This time headed for Huntington
Beach, but we got side tracked in Phoenix because they have the Nordstrom’s
Last Chance store, where we heard that everything that does not sell at all of
the Rack’s go on mega clearance. Of course we had to stop. After rummaging
through loads of used looking clothes, we decided it was not all that great,
and got back in the bus, but Bluebell started acting funny... like she was out of
gas, but she had a full tank. Of course it is Saturday night and nobody is open to help
us out. I talked to all the VW repair friends we have collected and Jon
tinkered around near the engine. I have a college roommate who lives in the area,
and although we did not get to see her and her family, she deserves a MAJOR
shout out for offering to drive an hour each way to rescue us! (Shaina Rocks!)
In the end we decided to drive on it until it died, or
started acting worse… and we did not have another problem the WHOLE way to
California!

| Jon took this super sweet picture of me driving somewhere in Arizona. As you can tell it was beautiful and boring at the same time |
We did not get to my Brothers place until 3 am, and we found
an air mattress blown up for us in the living room, candles lit and there were
little shampoos laid out for us in the bathroom. Such a GREAT end to a long
day!
Ummm, you forgot to mention how we prayed most of the night for you and Jon to figure out what was wrong with Bluebell and that she would get working again. Prayers really do get answered!
