visit Reuben and Fr. Pascal examine the wheel that is the source of the problem. Unbelievably, Fr. Pascal is able to call a priest friend for help using a cell phone. The friend and a young helper arrive about 2 a.m. All ten of us cram into and onto their even smaller truck--six inside and four in the back. Rain begins falling. Soon the potholed, stony road is a river. Mud spatters the lucky riders in the pickup bed. Finally, about 4 a.m., we arrive at the rectory—exhausted, smelly, sore, wet—but safe. |
The wheel won't
turn. We wait. And
wait. |
