So we played a show at Timbers last night in Gunnison....Being out of town on your own is incredibly stressful. We had a few sound problems and the night was a little rough (till the end) and our spirits we're down not being able to do our full show...people still danced and loved it (awesome). Then after the show we went to the local Love's gas station and met a very nice lady who's husband had just cashed his last pay check after being fired. He had left his wallet with over a grand in cash on their truck and managed to forget about it before driving off...this had happened earlier and the guy's wife was back at the gas station asking if anyone had turned in a wallet. Of course the answer was no, and so discouraged she went outside to comb the streets.
We pulled out of the gas station and up to her while she was in the street and asked which direction they were heading. I promised we'd keep an eye out as we drove a long the road and if we found it we would bring it back to the gas station (they had her phone ). As we're talking I went inside my head and asked "Jah please let us help this couple tonight."
So we part ways and head down the road...then all of a sudden Beau and I see this dark leather wallet sitting in the road that matched the description she gave us....like it would be anyone elses! So we quickly grabbed it and headed back to the gas station. (i'm assuming it fell off the truck)
We pull up and the lady is still there...very frustrated. And we stolled up and said something to the extent of, "Still lookin for that wallet?" (we had just talked to her like 3 minutes ago) and then we showed it to her. SHE WAS EXSTATIC! So exstatic that she gave us $200 in cash...freely. And with that, it turned into a pretty profitable night! And I found myself saying "Thanks" to Jah for letting us turn a frustrating night around...we helped out someone in need...and in return they helped us out with expenses on the road. AWESOME
So...thank you mystery couple....you should probably buy your husband a wallet chainn just to give him a hard time. And don't ever forget that Jah works in really odd ways...but its always better than what You had planned.
ONE LOVE
