Hello loved ones,
Yesterday's adventure, it turns out, was a complete miracle! While carousing thru the desert way outside of town, we found an elderly man wandering a main arroyo. He was disoriented, dehydrated, and had some trouble communicating with us but said his wife was in the hospital and that he was running low on fuel. We shared our water and our meal with him, and assisted him with pulling his vehicle out of the sand, where he had it lodged real good. Now it was very odd how this guy tried to drive a toyota camry up the hill he was trying to get up- I mean he never would have made it even if he did not get lodged in the hill.
No one was coming by with any gas that could help him get his vehicle started. After he explained he was diabetic, we ended up notifying the authorities that there was an elderly veteran way out in the middle of nowhere, disoriented, possibly demented, and a diabetic, and not sure how long he'd been out there. 24 minutes later the med-evac crew flies over the western horizon, circles twice, and lands. They check him out and we learned he was 82 years young and born in 1929! Apparently, we stablilized him, and they decide there is no medical emergency, and they will not be taking him on the helicopter. At this point, everybody is gathered in a circle around the campfire, our elder is seated in his camp chair, we have the kid running around and being cute and eating chips. Everyone is feeling fine, and then the EMTs tell us, they flew thru a RAINBOW to get to us. They said there was a rainbow like a perfect 360 degree circle in the sky, and the pilot flew right thru it on this call. So then, they said, they were really surprised when they literally flew right over us and found us so easily. They said the GPS signal they obtained on us from 911, was somehow more accurate than the GPS signal they have on the hospital.
Then they inform us, dispatch had a call on his vehicle being out there since Thursday morning, but they never found him! At this point, it was Friday night at sunset. When they advised no more authorites would be coming, b/c the county sheriff could not make it to where we were, it was basically up to us, what the heck happened next. So we put the fire out, packed up, got him into the pick-up truck and drove him home. It turns out this poor guy was missing for at least 2 days, APD was scouring his neighborhood looking for him, and his family was completely frantic & thought they lost him. He had a really close call, and the authorities completely botched the rescue. I mean, he's missing only one county over, but when we call 911 that we FOUND him, 911 knows nothing about the missing person's report in the town next door? Geez. By divine grace, we were able to align our intentions with the divine plan and observe a complete miracle. Much love!
