Odie Reporting From Mississippi

My home this week is Mississippi. Thanks to the Morris family for accepting as part of their family. I am having a wonderful time visiting with friends!!!  We have a full week ahead of us. I will be checking in along the way. I will probably be blogging while my parents are gone to Nigeria. 

Today I  met sweet Madison Hunnell. She is just a few days old. Congrats to Marlee and Cody and big brother Brody. Maddie is beautiful!!!

The BoggsMobile and Odie are Gone

A Great Sunday

______________

This morning started pretty early. I cranked the BoggsMobile and gave it about 20 minutes to warm up. Then Kelly Jo flipped it around in its parking space so I could empty the holding tanks. When that was finished we were ready to go. 

I pulled out of Beams of Light Holiness church at 7:30 on the dot. I was supposed to have the bus at Jake Parkerson's shop at 8 and I arrived with about 4 minutes to spare. 

It was only 13 miles and only 2 turns but traffic was busy. Stop and go traffic gave me a chance to take a couple of pictures of the BoggsMobile and the Green Machine. 

Bro. Jake and his crew were waiting on me when I arrived. 

We went over everything and discussed the time schedule and then Bro. Jake showed me around his new shop. He has a great place to work and I know the BoggsMobile is it good hands. 

I still teared up a little as I drove away. 

Next it was time to get Odie started toward her temporary home. The Morris family have been on vacation a few days and they were passing through Pensacola at lunch time. We met them for lunch at Sonny's and off they went with Odie.  

We dropped Odie's Luggage and power chair in Richton when we picked up the trailer Thursday. We knew they would not have much room in their car. 

Even with her push chair they had a little room so I guess they just had to stop at Walmart. 

So now the BoggsMobile AND Odie are gone from us for several days. Can you guess which one I am missing more?

A Great Sunday

We had a great Sunday at Beams of Light Holiness Church in Cantonment, Florida. We were thrilled to be here for Pastor Appreciation Sunday morning. 

Pastor Philip Deane and his family have been here nearly 12 years and they are well loved by their church. The service Sunday morning was beautiful and the meal was beautiful too!

We had a good service Sunday night as well. These folks have always been so kind to us through the years and this weekend was no exception. We had a wonderful time. 

It was great to have Bro. Farrell Stearnes with us this weekend. He lives in the Pensacola area and is a dear friend. It is always a blessing to see his smiling face. 

We are planning to crank the BoggsMobile early Monday morning. It is less than 15 miles to Bro. Jake's shop but it will probably take about 30 minutes to get there with traffic. I also need to empty the holding tanks and it needs to be moved to do that. 

Hopefully after the bus is in position tomorrow we can take a moment to breathe. We have been going at a run for several weeks and at a flat out sprint for several days. We need to catch out breath before going to Africa. 

I am usually pretty nervous when the BoggsMobile is in somebody else's hands and out of my sight. I am asking the Lord to put my mind at ease this week. My sermons for Africa are ready but I need to be spiritually and emotionally fit for the services. 

Kelly Jo has been working so hard. i hope she can get rested by Wednesday. Thank you for praying for us.
