A flat tire in the middle of Sao Paulo traffic


We went to the Afro Museum today. On our way home right in the middle of traffic (Sao Paulo has 6 million cars ) a man in a truck next to us waved to Grandpa/Vernon. He rolled down the window and the man said "You have a flat tire".

Within seconds we could tell that we were driving on the rim so we pulled off the road into the front of this medical lab. It was a blessing that we were able to get out of the traffic and that there was a place to pull off.

Three Brazilians came to help us. One was the guard for the lab. It was quite the operation. We were concerned because the traffic was getting heavier and we needed to get back for a special fireside for the missionaries with the producer of the movie "The Other side of Heaven." There just happened to be a break in the traffic after we got the spare tire on. We made it back just in time too. There are so many little miracles that happen everyday to bless us in our efforts to support the missionaries as they prepare to go out and share the gospel with the people of Brazil.

Sounds like a miracle to me.
