car battery miracle

When I was leaving for my trip I had the kids packed in the car we had said our prayer to ask for safe travels and then I tried starting the car. All I heard was click, click, click. Aaron had already left for work and it was 8:30 on Saturday morning. I immediately thought to call my home teacher. He came over and looked at the battery and said that it was 7 years old and was really only a 5 year battery. Someone had left the car door open all night so the battery was dead. He then cleaned the battery connectors and tried to jump the battery and it worked but he said that he would just give me his 1 year old battery from a car that he doesn't really drive. He switched out the batteries and it worked like a charm. I could just imagine if in the middle of the reservation we stopped and I turned off the car and then it didn't work. On the way home we stopped at Rock Point. It is just a gas station/post office/laundry mat all in one building and that is the town! Heavenly Father was watching out for me and gave me my dead battery in my garage instead of the reservation. It was really a miracle.
