May 27, Oro valley. Tucson. AZ

May 27, Oro valley. Tucson. AZ I wake up early this morning, cleaned up everything. I found more laundry in the basket in the Jeff ' room. I folded them. When Jeff came home from work, I have changed the sheets and set the bed, it was ready for next couch surfer. Jeff wore black suits with white shirt inside and tie. We were ready to church. This church is different from all churches that I have been . every one dressed up, men's dressing most are same as Jeff's . Women are beautiful same as to attend wedding or some kinds of balls, even children and little babies , they were like cutie idiots. Jeff decide to fast today, that means: don't eat. I have never tried this. I don't know when I am closer to God? i am hungry? or I am full? I normally cannot refuse the temptation of good food, same as other beautiful things in the world. Jeff donated the money for today 's food to church. I hoped he at least drink water. 6 ladies sang a song. The song was very beautiful as ladies. I pretty like their communion style. small pieces square of bread and small cups of water, they are ready in the plates. several teenagers or young men took the plates to the ministers and congregation. In Mendocino presbyterian church, the congregation eat and drink first, the pastor is the last one to eat and drink. I always think that pastor should be receive first, and then he can take care of his sheep. So I agree with this church. I think probably our pastor Don is humble person, so he let other people enjoy first. Jeff sat beside me, i heard his nose had been working hardly. I knew he was crying alway the time during whole worship . I had similar experience on the road to my faith. I was in tears every time when walked into church or when i prayed. Holy spirit is touching Jeff's heart. That would be most beautiful time for his life. After church , there was a bible lesson in another room. we joined in and stayed a while . I found the"bible" is "the book of Mormon" I don't know about Mormen, i prayed to God, if I was in the wrong place, may God forgive me. The church name is "church of Christ" . Sometimes I don't know my way is on left or right, but I trust God guide my way to go. Jeff drove me the free way entrance. A family from Indian country was my first driver. they dropped me a spot. I found there were very rare cars passing. Finally I hitchhiked backward to a town. A man named Erick gave me ride, he was going to casino. He insisted to drive me to casino, told me he found how much money in the machine last week, he said sometimes people dropped money on the ground. I looked the ground, I did not find money, I cannot imagine who has so big money but so small wallet or pocket , even without knowing money overflow to ground. Erick was so happy that I have never been to casino , because they will give newcomer a card $15 value for free. this is similar to let virgin get excited or use bait to catch fish. I have no interest in casino or $15 Free card. Today I have already went backwards. And this is hot desert. I feel it is difficult for me to keep smile to my candidate drivers when I stand beside the road. Erick parked the car, He led me to see casino. He asked me " do you have ID card?" " in my bag". So we went back to car. Erick wanted me to take my ID card to get $15 free casino card . He was similar as the fish seeing the bait or the excited virgin, just couldn't stop desire. I got in car, shut down smile, told him:" drive me to the freeway 10 entrance." he still stood outside, tried to tell me "it's free...." I grapped my backpack in hands and ready to get out of car. Because I saw the entrance was not far, I was thinking to walk there . Finally Erick sat behind the wheel, he passed the entrance, took me to the truck stop. He said "here is better, the trucks will all go this gas station. " When I left king city, a gentleman dropped me at a similar place as this Indian family did, I had to go backward. my next driver took me to the truck stop. I asked many truck drivers, they all refused to give me ride. Finally I walked to the entrance and thumbed up. I thought I may try again today. The result was same. This was my fault. That nice latino couple, who gave ride from the entrance near the truck stop to San Luis Obispo , told me, prostitute asks for a ride in truck stop. That means these truck drivers are good people, they don't want prostitutes. That also means I am not a good prostitute, I tried hard but never got "ride" . And that was my sin, I led them to lie, they didn't want to damage my heart, so they said " I go north" if I ask for south, "I go west" if I ask for east. That's the truck drivers 's righteousness and kindness. After got same result, I walked cross traffic light to the freeway 10 entrance. It is a good place for hitchhiking. Just the weather was too hot. I broke some bush branches from desert, held them, so I had a shade for my head. A Mexican lady with her beautiful daughter and grant son, 3 generations , picked me up. During on the road, I enjoyed their home made lime juice ice. This was the first time that I met sister Jan face to face. She looked healthy, very energy and sharp. Her husband Jim is quiet and gentle. He likes to take care of yard and play golf. Jan always asked me "what do you like to eat?" " what what... do you like?" even I told her " I like everything." she still asked me. Because I don't know about the food names, so I just all answered "yes". We had a wonderful dinner. Thank you everyone, my all friends and family. Thank God for sending so many angels to help me every day.
