B and J's big adventure: Big Red Bus or Immovable Car

This week on our walk to and from Paiz, one of the grocery stores that we walk to, we saw one of the big red buses honking at an empty car that was stalled in the bus lane. We have been told to NEVER ride on the big red buses because they are very unsafe. There have been people killed and other bad things happen on these buses. The bus driver would not stop honking. We thought how funny is that. The car is empty. Its like honking at a big rock in the middle of the road to make it move. How is it going to be moved if there is no one in it to move it. Then I had another thought. The big red bus could be like the world knocking on our door trying to get our attention and we can be like the car (or a rock) that is immovable. If we can have a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ that is so immovable like that stalled car was immovable, we will not be moved by big red buses or the values of the world.

We had stake Conference this week-end. At first we didn't think we would be going because we don't have a car to go to the stake center in. But our temple President, President Burk, arranged for all of us to go in the temple vans. We saw people there that work in the temple with us and people whom we have seen in the temple. It was a good conference. So glad we went. At stake conference we were told to not worry about Volcano Pacaya which started erupting yesterday. It is within view of the city.
