Today we had a much needed sleep-in day, and took the day off from working
because our bus was in the shop. Instead we had breakfast, cleaned up our
rooms and the camp and then were shuttled to Walmart to buy some American
snacks - lets just say that Walmart needs to restock the junk food aisles.
Then we all headed over to the Golden Corral where RJC treated us to a
scrumptious and gigantic buffet - a few boys were so excited for this
smorgasbord that they even skipped breakfast!
After loosening our belts, we all headed back to Camp Christian and waited
around until the bus was out the shop. At 3 PM we were off again and headed
out. On the bus we watched "The Witness", which was the encounter of Martin
Luther King's assassination through the eyes of Samuel Billy Kyles a preacher
standing on the balcony with him at the time of his assassination We had met
Billy Kyles when we were at the civil rights museum.
We headed right into our devotions, wrote in our journals on the bus and then
3 hours later our journey came to an abrupt halt with our bus breaking down
once again. We managed to drive to a service station and had a lovely picnic
in a grassy ditch. We are still currently hanging out in the service station
and hope to be back on the road in the next hour. Only 40 hours to go! WOOO.
