Thursday, 9/17/2020...Went camping in Kokomo, Indiana, met Jim, Bev, Diana and Steve in Flint follow each other

 

                                    Bill driving us to Indiana.  He loved the RV video cameras we all went in on for his birthday.  The screen is so nice and clear and it is wonderful to be able to what's coming on the sides and back of the camper while driving. 

          This is how they had us park.  It wasn't easy for Bill because their was a tent close to the other end of our camper

                                       Diana and Steve's camper in the back, ours in the front. Below is Jim and Bev's RV out our back window.  It took us lots of time to get parked in these positions.  Jim had it pretty easy.

                                    People in their golf carts listening to the oldies being sung by the band.

          Bev and I saw these shirts and laughed.  We had to hold them up and get a picture of them. Took our masks off for the pictures.

                     Steve, Diana, Jim and Bill (Vietnam Veterans)!  Picture taken in front of Memorial Garden

Bill, me, Jim and Bev.  This tent is where we ate our meals.  Tim Griffin ministries provided 3 meals a day. You had to go to the hand washing station first.  They also had hand sanitizer on each table.  The meals were free.  They wouldn't take donations either.  They had hot food off the grill.  They served it on our plates.  They wore masks and gloves.  They had people come ask if you needed anything, they would talk to people about Jesus, take our plates when we were done and were amazing servants of the Lord. It was very touching to see them show the love of Jesus to everyone.

                           That is the stage where all the bands sang.  All I heard them play was oldies.

                                            There were also vendors with food and elephant ears.

I couldn’t sleep good, so got up at 5 and got last minute stuff done,read my Bible, and got ready.  We left at seven and headed to meet Jim and Bev, and Diane and Steve by Flint.  We filled up with gas and headed to Kokomo Indiana.  We got food from a Cracker Barrel and ate.   Drove another half hour and reached our destination.  Knitted a dishcloth and listened to the Christian radio station on the way.  We got here and dad had to pretty much parallel park the camper.  Good thing he had the cameras on the camper from all of us.  He sure loves them!  We got parked and then set up really fast.  We walked around and went in the huge outdoor tent to look at what venders had for sale.  They had signs up to wear masks in all the buildings and stay 6 feet apart .  We went to eat outside and noticed it was a Ministry serving the food.  They had a hand washing station and you had to wash your hands before they would serve you.  Hand sanitizer was all around too.  They served chicken. Mashed potatoes and rolls.  We found out it was free and they wouldn’t take donations.  They talked to people and shared the love of Jesus.  We were blessed to be able to share with a guy at our table and let him know how much Jesus love him. He has to be careful because he is in remission from cancer.  The doctors said there is no cure.  He confessed Jesus as his Lord and Savior and then we got to pray for him. He was in tears and told us he had to dry his eyes.  The Holy Spirit is so awesome!  We prayed for opportunities before we came!  Such great joy!  We walked around with Bev and Jim and Steve and Diane followed on the golf cart.  Listened to a band sing oldies for a while. Talked to Melissa and Vikki.
