The Compassionate Bus driver (Jun 17 - Group Email)

What a week!! Have I told you I love being a missionary?
Funny story. Friday morning we head out to the bus at 9:55 like we always do to make it to our weekly meeting at 10:30. As we round the corner, we see the undesired - the bus was already there and about to leave! This wasn't a matter of life and death, but it was a matter of being 5 minutes early or 20 minutes late. Without thinking, I said "I think we can make it to the next bus stop!!" and took off! HAHA poor Sister Baldock had the bag with our lunch and a couple books. We gave it our all, I really thought we'd make it but the bus overtook us. My hopes fell and my legs were about to give in about 10 seconds. Then, the bus slows down, stops and OPENS IT'S DOORS. HE LET US ON BETWEEN TWO STOPS. #miracles We got on to a bus full of people so confused, looking at 2 girls in dresses panting and just about to collapse. It was so funny.

We had a funny yet somewhat serious conversation about it afterward. The whole experience represented much of what the Savior does for us. We give our all and do our part, but he knows we fall short and need help. He picks us up and carries us the rest of the way. I'm grateful to know my loving Savior and that he's willing to pick me up time and time again.
