Mount Carmel Junction

Next week Chad and I are going on a nice long roadtrip to Arizona! Everyday for the past 2 months I have talked about how excited I am to finally be going on a vacation! Roadtrips are my favorite. I really like the quality time spent together when all you have to do is talk... i like to talk. Last year when we took our trip there, we had a whole lot of trouble on the way. The radiator in my car basically exploded! We had just past a little town called Mount Carmel Junction - about 5 hours from Salt Lake City! We turned around and drove to a gas station/ car repair shop in that small Junction town. (I had prayed before going on this roadtrip and it would bring Chad and I closer together... LOL.. I'll never do that again!) We told the guy there of our situation; he called around for a new radiator and was told that the closest one that would fit my car was in Salt Lake City. "HUM, not good news!" I was praying and praying... and I was just hoping that someone was going to call back saying they had found one, and it happened! Just 25 minutes away there was another small town and they had found one stashed away in their storage. I WAS SO EXCITED! in about 60 minutes it showed up on the back of a 4-wheeler! Meanwhile the wife of the guy that was fixing our car brought us HUGE turkey sandwiches! In about three hours we were back on the road! The guy only charged us for the part and around $40 for two hours worth of labor! Being a total of $240 I was so thankful and happy that his man was so gracious to us. I am also thankful the God answered my prayers.
Anyways. I hope to stop in that town on the way to Arizona this year and pay our good friend a visit. He saved us from a lot of trouble that day!
