I finally am on my mission! Left, Wed. 2-29-12 and what an adventure that was! Ran into white knuckle driving at the junction past Burley and Switzer pass was horrible. Passed 3 upside down cars off the road and two jack-knifed trucks off the road. I had to pass a truck stalled on the road and when I went to pass the slush pulled me right off the road. Boy, was I praying - with the Lord's help I managed to get back on the road. Then, again, when trying to get around a stalled truck, it was really slick and my tires had no traction. I know that if the Lord and Darrell hadn't right there with me, I would not have made it out of that mess. When we dropped down off Switzer, the roads weren't too bad. However, trucks trying to make up time and were really flying and it was still snowing and slushy. On the other side, going up Rattlesnake pass I passed another upside down car on the road. That pass was nasty too. I was so glad to drop down into Tremonton! I had been praying all the way. I had called my kids and they were praying for me too. I was sure glad that the Lord was with me and that Darrell was right by me telling me what to do. I'm sure he was wishing he could take the wheel!
Next day, trying to find where I was to go downtown S.L.C. was bad too. Cars whizzing by, downtown, and I didn't where I was going. Was supposed to park in the Convention Center Parking, but missed it, because it just goes down in the middle of the street! With no sign to warn me! Whew. I did make it. Once I get my bearings from landmarks (the Temple) it will be OK. My apartment is nice, but they didn't tell me it wouldn't have dishes or pots or pans, glasses, sheets, bedding etc. Oh well, an adventure, right.
I have a luncheon and orientation meeting today, starting at noon. I get my badge then. Yoohoo!
Well, until next posting, God be with You.
What a wild beginning! I can't wait to hear about how today went! Be sure to take pictures!
