Day 116

Well, we made it to the south end of Milan today!  Change of routes again.  We were going to stay on 79/70A.  When we got just past the 45 turn we stopped for a breath and saw this big hill in front of us!  Realizing we didn't have any info on the road we were on...we turned back to 45.  Jackie Pemberton (wagon driver) found us and scouted a place a mile from where we were!  So we're all tucked in safe and sound for another night.  Thank you, again, Jackie!  That God sure is great!!!  If He doesn't show us what we need, He always sends someone to show us!
The place we stayed last night was closed today so we watered the last of our water and headed out.  Regina offered us water at her house this morning, but, once again, we left late so we rolled on.  Thank you to Regina Conway, just the same.  Regina asked for prayer for her family. And we ask for blessings for her for all her help!  Dinner (Mark loved it!!), water and everything!
We were able to get all water tanks (tummies included) filled at a station in Atwood. Plus hot lunch!!
Today we met Anna Bray. She asked for prayer for her and her family and for God to strengthen them.  She lost her brother 2 months ago. 
Ashley Sulters requested prayer for her and her family as well.
Ezekial Paul (5 yrs old) for his whole family.
The family of Chuck Betts in Wisconsin needs prayer.  We prayed for him before and today, on his 67th birthday, the Lord took him home!  So prayers for peace and comfort for that whole family.
Bob Anderson needs more prayer for his health.  He is going in for surgery Thursday to deal with a 11mm kidney stone!  He also has a ruptured disc that they will deal with later!!  Sheesh!!
Comments:
Crickette...Thank you!
Terri...Yes, that John.  We considered mules before we left.  Lower maintenance...hooves, tummies, etc.  But the best mule guy in MI said he couldn't breed them fast enough! Didn't have any. And EXPENSIVE!!!!  We are seriously in mule country since Kentucky!  But, we love Bob & Casey, however...Bob and I are still questionable ;)
Rachel...Get well for Pete's sake!!!  Lol!!  Rebuke that Devil and step out of his biddings!  He's going to keep you down for as long as he can!  Have your family cast that off of you!  We learned a while ago...tell those demons to go, where to go (pick any inatimate object), when to go (NOW), and in Jesus name GO! and stay gone!!!  Worth your while!  Love ya.  Let us know how it goes!!  We'll be praying!
So, that's all for tonight.  Hoping to land just north of Jackson tomorrow.  Probably hook back up with the horseback for Haiti ladies sometime this week.  Same path to Mississippi.
So, keep on praying! and we sure appreciate all your prayers for us! 
God bless and good night!
Faith
