We went to Walmart to shop more. We shopped there yesterday. We managed to find a second pair of jeans for William. While we stopped today John quickly got his haircut touched up [it was cut there yesterday]. Then he went to get our trailer tire patched and to have the hubs repacked and new hubcaps with grease nipples for the trailer.
Then we drove to Louisiana (arrived at 3:15PM local) and then stood on the corner of three states (Lousiana, Texas, and Arkansas) and had our picture taken. After we drove to Noah Tyson park so we could see Black Bayou (cypress trees growing in water).
We all went to dinner with the Gunn’s at Amigo Juan mexican restaurant. It was very good. So was the strawberry drink.
Dennis drove with us to Atlanta State Park so he could show off the park and to possibly find arrow heads. The area of the state park used to be inhabited by the Caddo Indians many years ago. There is a big lake at the park.
We stopped at Crhis Gunn’s and Meagan/Mellissa/Amanda house. Chris showed us some of the arrow heads hea had colledcted, as well as a tooth from a wooly mammoth.
We slept the night at the Gunn’s again. Sister Gunn came home with a puppy.

The tire fixing was quick, but they didn’t do hubs. So they recommended someone. It took a while because I had to wait for him to finish on another car. I chatted with him and the lady who’s car he was fixing. We talked about church. She said that she doesn’t ask why bad things happen and trusts the Lord to take care of her. I told her that I will ask why, but I won’t complain. That way, I can learn something.
He re-packed the bearings on the trailer and we moved the tongue so that the trailer is closer to the van. Something blew dust in his face and he whacked his head when he reacted. I had a first aid kit, so I patched him up. I took his picture before I left and he asked me to send a post card from Canada.
After fixing the trailer, we drove past my old apartment as a missionary. It’s abandoned now and in terrible condition. We also drove by the church. It has been renovated since and looks quite nice.
