********************************************************* Myrtle Beach Rally
I got sick with the flu 2 days before we were to leave, and was sick in bed for a week. We could not go to the Myrtle Beach Rally this year. ********************************************************* Rolling Thunder Rally
We rode up with 2 friends on the day before the rally. It was such a blessing to fellowship with them and get to know them better.
Wilton came with me to help, and he did a really good job. We had many opportunities to witness and the people took 90 % of all the literature that we had with us. I even overloaded the wagon this year, because of the great response we had last year.
We went through the plan of salvation with 4 people this year, but none of them made a salvation decision that we know of, but we planted many seeds and know that God will make use of each one.

I received an email from Robert two weeks ago and he reminded us that we had given him a Bible at the Cherokee Rally two years ago. It is wonderful how God works in people's lives. Here is the letter he sent me.
"Thank you so very much. Well my friends call me Robby.I am turning 24 May 22nd. I have been riding for 2 years now. When I received the bible in Cherokee I was touching the thought of salvation cautiously. Finding it is a special story to me. About a year ago myself and my girlfriend (2 years together may 13th) were struck by a nasty bit of influenza.I was bed ridden for about 36 hours straight with high temperatures. I honestly felt so much pain I thought I was on the last stretch of highway. I woke up soaked with sweat. I had tunnel vision and the ceiling seemed to glow and I felt just..very wierd. I didn't need anymore thought on the subject so it seemed. At that moment I kinda murmured (because I really couldn't speak due to the pain) "Jesus I believe that you died for my sins. I need you in my life. I feel as though I am here for a reason, please forgive me for what I have done all these years. So the next morning I woke up feeling better. Ashley my girlfriend was still sick so I did my best to take care of her. I missed about a week of work to look after her. So ultimately to answer your question...yes I proudly have Jesus Christ in my heart. My past is a little dark.I was a satanist in my teen years. I have an inverted pentagram on my left ankle, but it is my reminder and I feel that I need to ask for forgiveness for that everyday."
