Continuing on with my theme of, "Missions ain't always a boquet of roses," I thought I'd share today's events. We set out from San Luis Potosi around 8:00am after a good night's rest. Around noon, as we were driving out of the quaint colonial town of San Juan Del Rio, we missed a sign and took a wrong turn. Sandra found a place to turn around on the other side of the highway. As we slowed to make a left turn into a store, a car came up behind us at about 60 mph and attempted to pass us in the left lane of oncoming traffic. Had we not seen it, we could have died or been seriously injured if this car would have hit us. What we didn't realize was that behind that car was another one, going slower, and as Sandra pulled out, it began to brake, but hit us anyway.

So there we were, with the driver of the other car (that hit us from behind) implying it was our falt. That made for some wracked nerves, discouragement, etc. As we went our seperate ways (the drivers of the other car and us) I prayed for them.
