Expecting the Unexpected

So as we all know i am no boy scout but serving a mission has taught me and my companions  a few things about being prepared. For instance this last week our car had to go in to get some damage repaired and well  we went with out the car for a few days no big deal right. Well if any of you have ever been to Oregon it isn't always rainy, which is great because we all love the sun but isn't so great if you have fair skin like my sweet companion. Who after being out for a few hours she was burned, and well she learned that sun screen in necessary... Even in Oregon.

With my second Companion we learned to always make sure we had the keys... After getting locked out of our apartment twice, and even then almost forgetting them a few more times.

With every Adventure comes a life lesson, Living the gospel is no different. When we make choices and try things out we learn how to do things better. In the adventure we call life we all have choices to make that will help us be prepared to stand before our Heavenly Father.

When that day comes i want to say that i am well prepared that i did my best and that after a few mistakes i learned what to do and what to defiantly not do. I know that living the Commandments is one of those ways that we become better prepared. When we are fallowing the path that is set before us we are able to stay safe and not get harmed. This is not to say that we wont make mistakes we may leave the keys in the apartment a couple of times before we figure it out or we may leave the sun screen behind one time before we make sure it is always in our bags.

When living the commandments we have to live it to know if it is true. And some times when we stop we become even more aware of its truthfulness than before, but in any way we decide to go we are all heading back to the same path and to the Same father in Heaven. 

When we went to get our car back we carefully and in my case meticulusly made sure that we had everything including the food to fuel our own tanks to make sure that we would make it thought the day.

What do you do to prepare yourself for lifes slippery situations?

How can you today become even more prepared for life's twists and turns?
