Leaving Carlsbad, we drove to Roswell, New Mexico. The only reason we went there was, of course, aliens and UFOs! We had to see what this was all about. And they were definitely everywhere. Even the Walmart had a UFO on it. It was a bit hokey, but there was a charm to it. We camped that night in an RV park God led us to. It was definitely his provision, because we had no idea where we were going to sleep that night. The woman who worked there was so sweet, and allowed us to set up our tent and make ourselves at home. The facilities there were nice and clean and there was even a game room with a couch and T.V. We heated up leftovers and then spent the evening doing our own things. That night, I had trouble sleeping because of bugs that were in our tent. It’s almost impossible for some not to get in when you climb in and out. My plan was for us to get in the tent as quickly as possible, zip it up, then turn on our lantern and attract all bugs. Once they were landing all over the lantern, Taylor could kill them for me. And he patiently did- each and EVERY bug. However, when we laid down to sleep, I could still hear a couple of them buzzing and I couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that they might land on me. I was glad when morning came. We then went to the UFO museum and got to hear the story of what happened that "fateful" day in Roswell. It was fun to hear the history and listen to people’s comments as they walked through (some were true skeptics, some faithful believers). In fact, the woman at the front desk checking us in randomly said, "Yeah, I wasn't a believer until I started working here." For a second, I got really excited because she said she was a Believer. And then I realized she was talking about the aliens and not about God! Oh well, I pray she becomes a true Believer one day as well (or who knows, maybe she already is?). I'll end with a quote from a chat I had with my sister on the internet while in Roswell:
Kristen: "I think I just spotted an alien!"
Caitlin: "Nope, its just Taylor."

Love the pictures! Especially Taylor at the podium speaking on behalf of the aliens. :) I went there on a choir tour three years ago and couldn't believe how they could decorate so many things as aliens (like the light posts).
ReplyDeleteI believe we are not supposed to be of this world--I guess that would make us aliens! Enjoying the blog--keep them coming and God bless you two during your "unexpected adventure" . . .
