FIVE DAYS OF TRAVELING, FATHER GOD KNEW I NEEDED A BREAK!

 Reno, NV

I was getting ready to leave, just as Mike was arriving back from his 5 mile walk.  I asked him about a Bank of America near here and he said he was going to the same bank and I could ride with him in his car and he would bring me back, as the parking for an RV was not good there. We arrived at the bank just as they were opening.  I went to the teller and discussed the problem I was having and Arron was very helpful, turned out that he was a manager, used to be a Minister, had adopted some Foster Children that he was focused on now.  I was able to minister to him about only working with the willing.  Mike finished his business and took me back and I took off.

I drove a short drive to Carson City (Yes, the same one as in the westerns)and stopped at the 99 cent store and got my grocery supplies.

 While there in the parking lot, an older gentleman driving a pick-up said to me,  “You need to go home before it snows”.  I told him I was home and going south to a pool.  He told me there was going to be a parade on Saturday with wall to wall people, it happens every year.  I asked him if he knew Jesus.  He said he was a member of a Lutheran Church and then he talked about not liking tele-evangelist because they called him a sinner.  He said he made some mistakes but he was not a sinner.  I told him that Father God loved him and so did Jesus and they wanted a close relationship with him.  He left, I had planted a seed.

I drove on and stayed in the Walmart parking lot in Fallon,NV.

Good Morning my love, my joy and my peace, but most of all, my Child.  I have you, you are mine, fully.  Do you know how important that is to me?  I desire that all of my Children be truly my Child.  I will speak to Mike, he is mine, and so precious to me. 

Father God gave him a prophecy that I shared with him.

 I stopped for gas in Tonopah.  I had checked with Gas Buddy app and it told me to go to a station that I could get a good deal.  I got there at 3:57 and they closed at 4PM.  I got $120.00 worth, stepped in an oil spill, filled up with gas.  It was off the hwy up a dirt road, on a hill and the pump would not take my gas buddy discount card.







I drove through the high desert to Beatty where the wild burros are.  I was planning to get to the RV park in Death Valley where I was booked but it was getting dark, so I stopped.  I only saw one burro outside of Tonnopah.  I stopped at the same place I stayed the last time I was here in Beatty.  There were about 7 RV’s boon docking.  After I stopped and parked, I began to realize that I had no power. No lights, no heat no refrigerator, not any.  I knew that Father God had brought me here and so I used my battery operated candle and my cell phone light to see and went to bed.  It is supposed to be 21 degrees tonight.  My comforter on my bed acts like a sleeping bag so it keeps me warm when I’m in it, getting up for the bathroom is another story.

I woke up before the sun came up over the mountains, and it was cold but Renee came on the call early and she was the only one on the prayer call and I stayed in bed for it. 

Later, I opened the shades and the sun came in to warm me up enough to be able to get dressed.  I called AJ, he informed me that driving does not charge the 2 house batteries that were dead because I couldn’t even start the generator which would have charged them. (this lets me know that a solar generator may be valuable for me.) I found a man that was up with a 5th Wheeler RV and a Super Duty Pick-up truck, and I asked him if he could jump the house batteries as the jump cables I had, wouldn’t reach from my battery to the house batteries under the steps.  He willingly came, tested my house batteries and both were dead, but my engine started just fine.  He hooked up my cables (he didn’t have jumping cables) he told me I should always buy 2 house batteries as one would pull the other down, and then he had me start the generator.  Wallah!   Praise Father, it started!  I was able to run the generator (because I had gotten the exhaust pipe put on), the refrigerator came on (the freezer was full and there was no thawing) and I drove for an hour before I turned the generator off.  All was well.

I still expected to go to Death Valley RV park as I had booked 2 days.  Before I got to the turn off, Father God told me to go on to Las Vegas RV park.  I had tried to book that park but they were fully booked until December.  Later I found out that they had Nascar races that brought a lot of RVs.

I continued driving though the high desert.  Let me explain the high desert.  It seems like it is in the top of high volcanos, at high altitude (3,000-5,000 ft above sea level), with a rim of mountains that are higher, 7,000-9,400 that are only rocks.  No trees, foliage of any kind, no buildings or structures, nothing on them and only sage brush and sometime Joshua trees and cactus in the valley getting water running from the mountains when they got the 1.1 percent rain.  This was 2 days of driving 5-7 hours a day.  Every 100 miles or so was a small town with a few buildings, mostly abandoned and maybe a restaurant, post office, market, but hardly any gas stations.  If you blinked, you would miss the town.  There were some Military bases (a lot underground) and Federal Correctional Institutions near the mountains.  It was mostly a two lane highway, not much traffic and all of it passed me because I only was going 55 mph in a 70mph zone, to save on gas because I only get about 7-9 miles per gallon.  It is about 60-65 degrees during the day so I don’t need to use the air-conditioning which also saves on gas too.

Mike used to drive truck on this route for years and he was able to give me tips.  He told me about putting the RV in 2nd gear at the top of a mountain before I started down to save on the brakes.  He also gave me advice about the towns and what to expect that was very helpful.

I arrived at the Las Vegas RV park and stopped at the gate.  I saw Matt and said, Grandma Swann is back!  He immediately looked at the reservations, then I told him I had none but was hoping I could get an RV site.  He looked at the computer and said he thought that someone had just left!  WOOPEE!!! Father is always right!  It is so important to obey!  He said he had a spot for 2 nights and I could contact the office to see if I could be put on a waiting list. 

I called the office after I got hooked up and they immediately gave me until Nov 5th, then said to check back on Monday to see it I could get booked for more.  I was booked for Mesa Spirit RV Park in Mesa, AZ., but it was about 5 hours further and I couldn’t have made it. THANK YOU FATHER!!!!  I have been driving since Sunday and it is Friday and I didn’t realize I need rest.  I also am down to my last underwear and need to wash clothes, and most of all I need to go to the pool.  I just found out that the pool is open but the heater doesn’t work.  It will be 71 degrees tomorrow, maybe then.+++
