Hello all! Not much time today.

Random German Thing!

The cops don't really pull people over. They are more dispatched to deal with problems that happen, or to pull people over that are causing serious problems. Speeders instead get caught in specific spots by little boxes on the side of the road that take your picture. You could go cruising past a cop at pretty darn high speeds, and as long as you aren't going maniac dangerous fast, they won't do anything. Most of these boxes are little permanent instalations, and the people in the area just learn where they are, or watch for the people in front of them slowing down. Though sometimes the cops will set up a portable one. Funny. In any case, the speed limit isn't enforced much at all. And the roads are tiny. All just based on the little cart trails and stuff I guess. I hear that many of the large roads they have now were really only made possible because the war destroyed everything, and they were able to build everything back up with the wider roads planned in.

Spiritual Thought!

We just had Easter Sunday, and I loved it. We heard much about the Atonement and the Resurection. It made for wonderful meetings.

I testify that Jesus is the Christ. The Savior. The Way. The Great Shepherd. The Living Water. I testify that He loves you and would have suffered all the same things and still done the Atonement, even if it was just going to be for you. Even if you were the only one that were going to be saved from it. I testify that His great Love is what truly motivated and enabled Him to 'overcome the world' for our sakes. I testify that He has prepared a way. I testify that He will always help you and be lovingly at your side as you work to make progress in life. He cares. He is there. He has not given up on you. He never will. You will see Him again, and He will be so happy to greet you and talk with you. Trust Him. Let Him in. I testify and promise these things as I have felt them from the Holy Spirit, and testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I encourage you all to feel and give a little more love this week. :) God be with you.
