A Safe Crossing!

Peter & I just wanted to again thank all of you who were praying for safe crossing over the border - to and from Mexico. My son reminded me that I left everyone in suspense about us getting to the USA safely. I'm sorry for neglecting to write this. We didn't have internet until we got back to So. Carolina, and then I got so busy unpacking, that I forgot to tell you that we had a safe trip all the way home. For your information, we logged 6,431 miles in three months.
We did have one little problem just before the border when a policeman stopped us on some "trumped up" charges, and told us we had to go to court to pay around $200.00!! We told him we had only enough pesos to cross the border, and we had to do this in the daylight, because it was too dangerous to drive at night. When he insisted on us paying, I told him what we were doing for three months in Mexico to help his own people, and we weren't "rich" Americans, he finally let us go! Peter thanked him, gave him a Gideon Bible & a handshake, and we proceeded to the border! (Maybe God just wanted him to have a copy of His Word that never returns to Him void)! Praise God for surrounding us with His presence!

A Safe Crossing!
