On the way to Page to collect Deb, Steve asked me if I was concerned about the weather and the possibly dangerous driving conditions. I responded that I felt strongly that we were on the Lord's errand and he would make a safe way for us.
As we were crossing I-20 the bad weather hit. Blowing snow had caused a car to overturn and the highway patrol was waiting with the passenger for a tow truck to retrieve their upside down car from the ditch.
Upon our save arrival in Page, we quickly went to work loading Debbie's belongings into the truck and trailer. Once the load was covered, Steve took off back into the storm. He opted to go the south route to St. George, trying to avoid any mountain passes. 10 hours later, he pulled into our driveway. Along the way passing many stranded vehicles, semi's pulled over to chain up, and even a snow plow which had slid off the road.
The next morning he went to unload Deb's posssesions. In the light of day he realized that the wheel bearings from one of the trailer wheels were all gone and there was problem with the axle. Angels had truely carried him home. He still has no idea how the trailer was able to make the trip.
Deb and I left the next morning. Although we did see snow along the way. We seemed to travel in "windows" of good weather. As you may have heard on the news, it was the worst winter storm in many years. All along the southwest it snowed in places like Las Vegas!
Thank you for all of your prayers. I have felt strength and have been guided to do and say things that even surprised me. Deb seems better everyday. She has a long and difficult task ahead of her. But she is stronger than she realizes and will make it through this.
