POLICE-AMBULANCE-MONEY-TEMPLE RECCOMED--SKIRTLESS

Oh my what do these have in common? LAST NIGHT!

We just spent $800.00 to have Garry's car fixed. After sinking in the $800.00 the repair guy told us that it did not fix the problem and that the original problem would actually coast $1000.00 more to fix. He said the car is not worth it. He told us to drive it until it died.

So yesterday Garry decided to go behind Utah lake to come home because the car was acting funny. I get a call about 5:45 from a number I truly did not recognize. After letting the call go to voice mail I retrieved the message only to know that it was Garry and that he card had broken down in the middle of NOWHERE!! As I started the LONG drive behind Utah lake I wondered how far out he would be. Oh let's just say he was in the middle of nowhere. He coasted to a house that is about 5 miles or more from any other neighbors where he used their phone to call me. I picked him up about 7:00. We were supposed to meet with the stake president for our recommend by 7:30. When we meet with our bishopric they reminded us to make sure we wore "proper" attire. No Levis was particularly mentioned. We made it to the stake center at 7:30 in Levis and all. I had Garry drop me off while he went home to change and grab a skirt that I could slip on. Just as soon as he left our bishop walked through the doors. I was just embarrassed. After explaining the situation he just laughed. They still let me in and as I came out there sat Garry in his tie and all with my skirt on his lap!

About 9:00 the phone rings. When I answered it the voice on the other end said this,
"This is going to be a weird question."
"Okay"
"Did your husband brake down in Alberta?"
"Yes"
"Where is he?"
"Right here."
"Oh okay I just wanted to make sure he was okay. There are a bunch of police, ambulance, and fire trucks out here looking for him."
Apparently someone has driven by and thought he looked in distress. So they called 911. So 911 came in full force. The lady said they had a helicopter with a spot light on it looking to. I kinda of think that is a little overkill, but then again I knew he was safe at home.
So you might ask what the morale of the story is? Listen to the spirit. When I left the house that morning I had a feeling to take my skirt with me. I dismissed the thought as crazy. That skirt, it I would have had it on I would have not been embarrassed. Of course I still would be out $800.00 dollars and a car that won't run. But I would have had the comfort knowing that I recognized the spirit prompting me.
