Yes, I got the package! I got all the stuff it was great
thank you VERY much!
I told you guys that now I am in a car area and I remember
Pat telling us about TiWi, But I thought that I would share with you my
thoughts on the little demon. TiWi is a little electronic box that connects to
satellite to track where you are and where you have been. It has a sensor that
tracks G's to track how well you are breaking and accelerating and turning. As
well, it uses satellite to know what the speed limit is. Also checking other
things like seat belts and what not. I have my own little card that I log in
with everyday, so it knows who is driving. All of that is fine and dandy BUT
it also has another feature... VOICE. It tells you when you are violating, the rule in which you are violating and if you violate them to much, he gives you like a penalty card! I
have never had a problem or seen a problem until I got here. Here we have a lot
of LONG one way roads... that everybody speeds on... except us... A few
days ago I had a train of 12 cars behind me! And the whole time TiWi was saying
"CHECK YOUR SPEED" which is a warning and you have 7 seconds to slow
down before is says " SPEED WARNING" in which you have been flagged
in the system and the Mission gives you certain consequences. And then, if you
still don't slow down it says " SPEEDING VIOLATION" which means you
will get a call from the Vehicle Coordinator and he will probably suspend you.
So far I haven't had a problem. The problem I have had is other drivers getting
angry at me because I speed up then slow down, and some times I have
to use my brakes and they think I am freaking out because they are tailgating
me. Then I get angry and give TiWi a knock, then I feel bad because he is just
doing his job. So now I have a little character that hangs from the visor that
I whack when I am angry. So far that has been my biggest stress on my mission.
Otherwise this week had been good, at church while
sitting in sacrament meeting mulling of the lyrics of "We need thee every
hour" in walks a family of 3 with one of our members. They were not a family that we (the missionaries)
had been working with or taught, but a member of the ward had and brought them
to church and said "here... they are wonderful!". They were incredibly prepared AND A
FREAKING AWESOME MIRACLE!!!! Which we definitely needed. No one besides our
eternigator has been to church down here for about a month and a half. MAJOR
drought. And I have been doing everything to all of my ability to get people to
church! I have a list of 50 ways to connect people's different desires to going
to church. Feel weak? Ether 12: 27 Go to church to become strong. Feel alone? 3 Nephi 18 the whole chapter talks about how the people of Christ become a family
through the sacrament! The list continues on all I have been doing is trying to
find ways to boost people's desires to go to church! Want an eternal family?
The Proclamation to the World, TALKS ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH!! ALL THE SCRIPTURES
DO! YOU CAN CONNECT EVERYTHING HAPPINESS< STRENGTH, PEACE, FAMILY, FRIENDS,
ANIMALS, SADNESS, HEALTH.... all of it can be found at church. All of it but
none of our friends have made it that was why I was SOOO happy to have a family
walk in that door. I felt God's love. He told me that he saw my efforts and he
compensated. It was real nice.
Also this week I have been running into a lot of **'s
and R** J**** people and it reminded me of my favorite APOSTASY scripture 2
Timothy 4:2-4:
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
This is the world that we live in and it is our admonition to preach the gospel to them all. and thats the thought that I want to leave you!
Stay Strong, Push On
