Last week on friday we headed out, to move to Las Cruces New Mexico for Samuel to go to Grad school. Some freinds from our branch in Oregon helped us move so they could see their family down in New Mexico. Friday night we made it to Las Vegas, NV. Our truck had been acting a little funny in Twin falls and by the time we were in traffic in Las Vegas, of course it had to start dying at every light we hit. It was such a relief to get out of traffic and to Zach and Ambers house. Saturday Zach and Amber showed us around Las Vegas and took us swimming. The kids had such a blast. We got back on the road Sunday morning only to make it to the middle of a desert to breakdown. Our Transmission we had replaced 3 weeks earlier was gone! We do not own a cell phone, so Samuel took some water and started to walk down the highway. I took the kids and we rested in the shade of a joshua tree until Samuel arrived back. Luckily we were only there for 2 hours. Samuel had hitchhiked to the nearst littletown with a bus full of mexicans heading to mexico. The fist town he saw he had the mexicans drop him off , he used a girls personal cellphone to call a tow truck. We were all very relieved to see Samuel. They took us into a town called Wickenburg, AZ. and dropped us off with the truck at a mechanics. WE then took what we could out of the front of our truck and walked to go find a hotel. Tuesday around 2 we were able to get back on the road met up with our friends in Animas, NM. Wednesday we made it to LAS Cruces...FINALLY! Only to start having truck problems agian. But at least we are here!!!! The truck is in the shop and another transmission is being put in. I sure love vehicles. Thanks everyone for your prayers. I know, if nothing else we were kept safe, and I would rather have car problems then have my safety or the safety for any member of my family jeoperdized.
