Hello everyone. :) Got a story for you.
Was
down in Dessau (city in my area) again, on exchanges again. We looked
at the bus and tram times for something like 20 minutes trying to decide
if they would be helpful for our three appointments that evening, we
decided yes, made sure we understood the times, and bought a day ticket.
We got on the bikes for the start to get to our first appointment. Or
at least, we thought we were headed there. Turns out I had misjudged the
path I saw, we had to turn back after a couple minutes of riding and
find the other route, up over the train tracks, and finally got to the
first appointment, late. We then got out of that appointment with good
time, and started taking the regular route back past the train station,
when I remembered that we were gonna try a path through this big park
that might save us time. The other bikes chain was getting loose, so it
kept coming off, and after a couple times I checked it and realized that
one of the links was broken on one side and was not going to keep the
chain on for more than 10 seconds. :P (Oh by the way, the person I was
on exchanges with, I was with because I am District Leader, and he is
new. This was in his second week here.) We walked our bikes through the
park, and got to the second appointment alright (all things considered)
late once again. On the way out of that appointment, we watched the bus,
which we were going to take, drive down the road. We had missed it, and
had to walk back to the station. Bought ourselves a little tub of ice
cream since we had some time, caught the train back, and had a nice
restful evening talking and eating ice cream. :P Adventurous day. :)
Sometimes
the Lord has other plans. :) The real trick is to take it as it comes,
trust Him, and keep close to Him. We see a good example of this in
Mosiah 23&24. The people of Alma were wonderful people, but God gave
them more tough times, that their faith could grow even stronger, and
they could be given more stepping stones, in the form of trials, to help
them towards perfection, towards the increasing of their faith. Alma

Love you guys. Stay close to Christ. He loves you. God be with you. Go make it a good week. :)
