We appreciate so much all the prayers for our journey thus far. First off we prayed for nice cool weather. We had a nice cloud cover for the first 4 hours of our journey. A nice shower even came before us and kept things around 85 degrees until it finally warmed up a bit more.
The greatest answer to prayer though was the way God took care of us. A couple that went along with us from Choctaw (Joel and Carilee Delano)experienced the divine protection of God.
About 9 am this morning Carilee was riding on the back of the bike when she told Joel she wasn't feeling well and was very dizzy. Before he could get the bike stopped she passed out and fell off the bike at 50 mph. Wearing her helmet and protective gear she fell to the right side of the bike into the ditch which had just previously been graded and was composed of soft dirt.
When she came to she just laid there face down in the dirt. She said that she was ok. The paramedics arrived shortly thereafter and could not believe she was not seriously injured. After being transported to the hospital in Woodward it was determined that her only injury was a chipped bone. She will spend the night in the hospital for observation. She was able to share with several of the caregivers the reason why she was going to Sturgis. Even though she and her husband Joel won't be able to complete the trip they have already had a chance to share God's precious grace and protection with so many.
Thank you Lord for your wonderful hand of protection on our group.
We are staying the night in N Platte Nebraska tonight. We will make it into Rapid City tomorrow.
Continue to pray for us.
Bro. Mark
