While the girls relax, Ben

Crane finds himself pushing the

girls around a miniature golf

course. Mel said, “It’s a tough

thing being a guy on an en­

semble; not only are they out­

numbered, but outsmarted as

well. Obviously, he didn’t read

the fine print in his contract!”

Excerpt from

Melonee Dore's

journal: "I was

abruplty awak­

ened by the agi­

tated voice of

Dr. Youstra say­

ing, 'We're out of

gas!' Within a

matter of min­

utes, Doc was on the phone with

AAA. The problem was that he didn't

figure out where we were before he

called, so he asked us and no one

knew anything except that we were

on interstate 14-1 think. They said

they would 'try' to find us. Through­

out the course of this tension caus­

ing event, Megan seemed distraught.

Her distress was rooted in her dire

need to use the facilities. So Ben,

Megan, and I began to walk to a

house we had seen to ask if Meg

could use their restroom. A sign by

the house BEWARE OF DOGS, so we

took heed and kept walking. We

were unsure of where we were, but

then we saw it! A sign! It said, EXIT

34--7 MILES. We had just turned to

go let Doc know where we were

when a red truck pulled up beside

us. They offered us a ride to the gas

station. We rode with them to the

van to ask Doc if it would be okay.

He said yes. Ben got out, Amanda

got in, and the three of us, adven­

ture seeking girls shoved into the

truck with two strangers. We were

talking to this couple and I was try­

ing to think of a way to witness.

When the lady mentioned that she

was from Tennessee, 1 said my mom

went to a Christian college there.

The wife then asked if we were from

a Christian college. That opened the

door for us to talk. We found out

that they were bom again. They were

excited to hear we were Christians.

^'W e a rin g their festive tiara

and lea, Megan and Julie lounge We had a great time of fellowship

outside of Julie’s relatives’ house with them. They gave us $20 for

during a July 4th party. “Visiting gas and we said 'Thank you.' They

my aunt Toni and uncle Jim in said 'God bless' and then they were

gone. Angels unawares."
Michigan encouraged them both

so much,” Julie said. “I am

thankful that God allowed us to
