Here we are...In a gravel parking lot... surrounded by big trucks, and graders, and cement trucks...in the middle of an industrial area, kilometres from food, and entertainment.

With the right tag wheel off, and the wheel bearing taken apart, we were able to pull it out of the shop, into their yard. They did let us plug in to power, which is great.

Caleb, Ethan and Cameron walked from the bus to the “nearby” Walmart, 3km away last night to get provisions in the pouring rain. By the time they were done shopping, they took a cab back to the bus, with food for the next couple days. Since then, we have been reading books, watching movies, and playing games to pass the time here in the rain.

Cameron barbecued some burgers in the rain for supper tonight, and we realized that we need to eat up our fruits and veggies before crossing the border tomorrow, after the repairs are done. It will be exciting to have a wheel that rolls again!

We thank God for our many blessings, such as a comfy warm (if immobile) bus to sleep, eat, and play in, that the tire coming apart didn’t end in disaster, just a little inconvenience, and that we have each other to be with and pass the time.
