Mechanic Closed

Posted by 2DI4 at 4:21 PM

I gathered my stuff for my 2 plus hour stint I knew I'd have to spend at the mechanic's today BUUUT A-1 was closed. I left my debit card at the Macey's drive-through ATM. They shredded it so I need to get another card now. After my shift I went to the bank so I could take out cash without my card and I think their drive-through closes at noon but I'm not really sure. I worked the 6am session but I was sister 1 meaning I could listen to the new movie but had to keep my eye on the temple patrons.

I love the temple. I am so grateful I get to work there. It is a wonderful start to each Saturday. My trainer Sis. Smoot told me her last day is next Saturday. I'm going to miss her. I'm glad I got to have her as my trainer. My last shift was on the 3rd floor comprised of all the sealing rooms. Sis. Smoot and I were BOTH there so she had me read the emergency procedures book. TEDIOUS, BORING but necessary. I get why we need to read it. The sealing office had me sit in the bride's room they have upstairs. I can't wait to get married in the temple.

Krista got engaged on Valentine's day. I'm so excited for her. She is such a good person. She told me she wanted some white guy before they began dating. Anthony looks great and he is sweet too. He completely struck gold with Krista. I know there aren't many members in Taiwan and I know it is important to her to marry someone who is a member.

She is happy. I would never date someone like Anthony let alone marry him. I am NOT going to do anything to rain on her parade however. I am so excited for her. This is what she wanted and she is doing everything we are supposed to do. Getting sealed allows you to enjoy the highest blessings available to man. I just want to be happy. Krista is happy. I am very happy for her too. I wish I could be happy about dating someone like Anthony or rather someone LDS who loves his father-in-heaven AND that I can enjoy spending time with.

 23 And now I, Mormon, seeing that the Lamanites were about to overthrow the land, therefore I did go to the hill Shim, and did take up all the records which Ammaron had hid up unto the Lord.

 No Other Gods - Dallin H. Oaks
If so, our priorities have been turned upside down by the spiritual apathy and undisciplined appetites so common in our day.

We are correctly known as a family-centered church. Our theology begins with heavenly parents, and our highest aspiration is to attain the fulness of eternal exaltation. We know this is possible only in a family relationship. We know that the marriage of a man and a woman is necessary for the accomplishment of God’s plan. Only this marriage will provide the approved setting for mortal birth and to prepare family members for eternal life. We look on marriage and the bearing and nurturing of children as part of God’s plan and a sacred duty of those given the opportunity to do so. We believe that the ultimate treasures on earth and in heaven are our children and our posterity.

The emphasis we place on the law of chastity is explained by our understanding of the purpose of our procreative powers in the accomplishment of God’s plan. Outside the bonds of marriage between a man and a woman, all uses of our procreative powers are to one degree or another sinful and contrary to God’s plan for the exaltation of His children.
The importance we attach to the law of chastity explains our commitment to the pattern of marriage that originated with Adam and Eve and has continued through the ages as God’s pattern for the procreative relationship between His sons and daughters and for the nurturing of His children. 
At this conference 27 years ago, he boldly declared: “Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God’s approval.
A moral coward is one who is afraid to do what he thinks is right because others will disapprove or laugh. Remember that all men have their fears, but those who face their fears with dignity have courage as well.”

 I can't believe I was all ready to hang out at the mechanic's BUUUT he's closed today and I want to give this place a chance. I am supposed to give Dave a ride tomorrow. I really don't want to pick him up since my car's not where it should be but I think I'll be blessed actually for doing this and I think my car will be alright until Monday. I'm not driving my car more than I have to drive it. 

 I'm glad it's a holiday Monday. I really hope the mechanic opens Monday.  I don't want to have to make arrangements with people at work who I can get to help me drop my car off. I just want my car fixed asap. I need to organize my lesson for tomorrow.
