On the ROAD day 23 sunrise

I (Darcie) spoke at Turlock, CA this past Thursday to a group of retirees. After I finished speaking a woman came and said I should meet Marcella King. Marcella is 93 yrs and was in Oslo, Norway when Richard Wurmbrand spoke at their church shortly after his ransom from Romania. Marcella and her husband helped raise money and get Richard and Sabina to the United States. She was blessed to hear how God used their obedience when He directed them to help Richard and Sabina. I loved meeting this dear saint. She was filled with joy and thankfulness because had chosen to use her for such an important task. Marcella and her husband have been a voice for the persecuted without opening their mouths because their obedience made a way for many to hear what was happening in the hostile and restricted nations.

A little crowded for us!

Sunrise on the Mighty Toyota

Days 20, 21 & 22 were very busy days & nights with some quality time with a dear brother and sister that we have known for many years. After the Thursday night meeting at their church we decided to "Road Trip" together over to Clovis for the VOM conference the next day. It was really great to be with over 500 brothers and sisters who came from all over CA, some driving for several hours to and from Clovis. We were so busy with set up and then the conference itself that we failed to get any pictures so you will have to use your imagination. We got back to Los Banos Saturday night at about 8:30 PM and then stayed up as long as our eyelids remained open just to fellowship with our dear "California Family" who we stayed with. Sunday morning was a rainy time that lasted pretty much all day (no pictures again). Darcie spoke at a community church in Hilmar, CA........where they have one of the largest cheese factories in the world and supply most of the cheese for fast food restaurants.......quite a place for such a small community.........I guess California really does have contented cows......again, I didn't get a picture. After a great lunch at the Cheese Factory we trucked on down to this quaint little campground (over 300 spaces) where we drove around until we could find an available spot and pitched our aluminum tent for the night. We are sitting down to breakfast (bacon & schrooms omelets) and plan to take a little walk seeing as how it has stopped raining. We are off to Salinas tonight and then plan 2 days off.........in a primitive campground with no running water or electricity.......in the woods.......where I don't think we will have Internet access so you will again......have to use your imagination........and pray we make it out alive.

Blessings............Tim & Darcie
