Dorothy's diary 29th - 31st May

Polk Street UMC Amarillo

Friday / Saturday / Sunday 29^th, 20^th, 31^st May

We have a 320mile journey in front of us across the Arizona desert. It is a desert, there is very little colour to the scenery, but there is a little greenery in places.

Albuquerque is nothing to write home about but we are staying at the Hampton and we have a good night’s rest and breakfast before we set off for Amarillo.

We decided that a two night stop would give us a good rest before our long haul towards Tennessee.

We have managed to find Polk Street Methodist church not too far away so we visit one of the Sunday school classes, and then stay for the morning service. We are made very welcome. The words of the hymns are not familiar but the tunes were, so we were able to have a good sing. The service was being filmed for television and will be screened next week. The preacher was Marty Hamrick who was an intern at Wesley’s Chapel in London a few years ago.

After church we needed to do some laundry and found one not too far away.

With clean laundry we went back to the hotel to pack ready for the journey to Shawnee, 30miles east of Oklahoma city.
