Had a good morning fellowship with Buck and he let me use his phone.
It's the first time I've been able to talk to Marcie since her wreck. She's back at home and recovering but it's been a rough experience.
I spend the entire day hiking in the rain. It was so bad that a couple in a car actually handed me 4 bucks and offered to give me a baseball cap. Then, as I'm entering the town of Dixfield, a lady pulls over and gives me 10 dollars and tells me to stop at the Front Porch Cafe for a warm meal. These are always wonderful opportunities to witness and let people know what I'm up to. God's fun like that.
Soaking wet, I enter the Front Porch Cafe and the owner turns out to be a Christian and she proceeds to tell everyone in the restaurant what I'm doing.
Free publicity is the best. :)
As I eat, she sits with me and we talk. She calls her pastor and arranges for a place for me to stay the night. Then, by the time I finish my meal and start to leave, somebody else pays the bill for me.
This town is AWESOME!
They cart me over to the parsonage of the Church of the Nazarene where they have a room for me, a hot shower and a chance to do some laundry.
I eat dinner with the pastor and his wife and this is where I discover how awesome A & W Cream Soda is. It literally tastes like a root beer float! How did I not know this before?!?
