Story of the RV

Yesterday we had a massive change of plans. We cancelled our hotel on Sunday night and rebooked with our friends in Big Canoe, Ga. I changed the drop off location of our rental car from ATL airport to a suburban location near Duluth, Ga.

Monday morning we stopped by the Delta Community credit Union and ordered a cashier check. Test drove the 2023 RAM RV Van by Thor Scope 18A at the home of 2 retired Christian South Koreans.

This 2 year old RV only has 11,000 miles and 7 hours on the generator. Like brand new, well cared for Eugene who hated to sell it but needed to because of his HOA agreements.

We even had a quick breakfast that Song made for us.

We’re learning how to “once again” be RVers. The end of May we will be taking a massive road trip to the west coast, from Arizona, California Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatoon Canada from May 30 to August 1.

We have appointments to visit with the Avant retirees that live along our route. We normally take the missionary out for lunch, give then a goodie bag enjoy listening to their stories. These are my favorite times of ministry.

As we drove out of Georgia heading to Tennessee towards Illinois, we pulled over for some tuna fish sandwiches at a state rest stop. As we ate, Mary stop and talked with us through our screen door. She said “hey I had to take a photo of your Rv. I’ve always wanted one. I’m single and I’m driving back to Michigan right now and would love to have this size of RV”. We immediately invited her into the RV and told her a little more about the RV. She laughed hard when I told her we had only purchased it a few hours earlier.

We are struggling on what to name the RV. I’m thinking “Miss Ruth” since we purchased her during the 100th birthday celebration of Beverly Smith’s mother here in north Georgia.

We are thankful for our new purchase and incredibly grateful for the perfect timing of everything to fall in place.Read more
