Miracle in Evanston, WY

I forgot to mention this but I think that is worth noting. As we all left Sandy for Bear Lake, I called all the kids and reminded them to say a prayer for a safe trip. We also did the same in our car. Well, when Mallory, Whitney & Katie got to Evanston, they decided they were going to stop at Wendy's and grabe something to eat. Well, there was a HUGE pot hole that they hit. (They were towing the jet ski's). The jetski trailer immediately got a flat tire and there was no spare. So, Michael's car got there to see what they could do, and then Troy and I got there to see if we could help. Well, of course we have triple A but we have the basic and so that meant the trailer wasn't covered. Wouldn't you know it. Anyway, they tried to pump up the tired because it looked like it had just come off the rim. Well, that wasn't working. So we were right next to Super Wal-Mart so Whitney and Katie decided to walk over there and see what they could find. Hoping the tire center was open and they could find a spare. And on the way they said a little prayer. Meanwhile, Troy and Michael pulled the tire off and the rim was ruined. There was no way it could be fixed. They needed a new tire. Troy was considering just staying overnight in Evanston and sleeping in the truck and getting up early and get a new tire. Meanwhile, Michael took the ruined tire over to Wal-Mart to meet Whitney and a few minutes later, they came back with a spare tire that was the exact size we needed. Whitney said they walked over to the tire department and they were closed, but on a shelf was a single tire already pumped up and it was the exact tire we needed. So, I know that we were being watched over that night. It did cost $50.00 dollars but I think it was worth it not having to spend the night in Evanston and getting us all to Bear Lake together. So, the moral of this story is, always pray that we will always be watched over and have faith in that prayer. And remember that these blessings only come from our Heavenly Father. We know it wasn't just a coincidence. We also had 3 recently returned missionaries with us and maybe that was a bonus. We know Heavenly Father loves his missionaries. So, I thought I would share that with you. Whitney has a cute picture of everyone sitting beside the new tire on the trailer. It's cute.
