So, Saturday begins with chores- just like any other farm day. But then we get a call from Sis up in Michigan. It appears that a friend's son from her church is in need of some help. Can we possibly give it to him?

It appears that Ben's bike is having some mechanical problems and we are the closest folk with the ability to help. So The Farmer hops into his truck at 9:30 pm and drives out to Jefferson, MD where Ben is stranded. Together they loaded the bike and all of his gear into the truck and drive back to the Farm. Ben sleeps here and it is so wondreful to be able to share what we have with him. It's amazing how God brings us all together in times of need.
Sunday morning dawns and the Farmer and Ben drive into Winchester. They take the bike and Ben into Element Sports to see about getting the bike fixed. The folk there are so much more than helpful, going over every inch of Ben's bike plus fixing the broken small gear thingy for a very nominal fee.
After the bike is fixed, the Farmer returns Ben to Jefferson, MD. so that he can resume his trek across America.
Good luck, Ben. Our prayers are with you.
