Blow Out

We spent a really nice day in Salt Lake. There was a free shuttle downtown from the KOA, and on the way back we had a freindly conversation wit a lawyer from New Orleans. He was here just for the day and came to take the tour of Temple Square. The conference center is absolutley amazing. Even Adam's jaw hit the floor when we went inside the auditorium. It is enormous, and beautiful too. The garden on the roof is representative of the landscapes of Utah. We had lunch at the Joseph Smith building witht the Ziedners. I am going to miss those two now that they have moved to Utah. Miriam recgnized and named two or three different statues of Joseph. I think that is really neat.
We had another trailer tire blow out just outside of Beaver, Ut. This time the tools I have just wouldn't work. The lug kept slipping off both the lugs and the jack. I was really getting frustrated and angry. Then I stopped and said a quiet prayer. I looked around and realized that I was not only near an exit, but very near a town. I unhooked the trailer and drove into town. I Borrowed a four way from Cooper Tire Center and went back to get the trailer. Rebekah went with me we had the trailer back on the road in no time. When I got to the service center, we found that the third tire was coming apart as well. I put the family up in a Quality Inn where they charged us what seemed to be the price for a room for two not six, it was only $80. The kids played in the pool and we had dinner at Dairy Queen.
So, I have a question, why did my tools work when we we in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, but when we so close to help they wouldn't? Well, I have my beliefs on this subject. On the way back from getting the trailer I told Rebekah that I had to stop only being greatful when things were going well.
Rebekah and I had a very touching conversation. The contents of the conversation are too personal to share , but needless to say Rebekah is not just a " good kid" anymore. She is a full grown daughter of God.
