Last week I went on a great exchange with one of my zone leaders in Swansea! I learned a number of things, not the least of which was that you shouldn't speed. We got up early on Friday morning to drive another team of Elders to the train station. I was driving, and we came into a city area where the speed limit bounced back and forth between 30 and 40 mph. They have these annoying little things called speed cameras hear in the UK. I was driving somewhere between 30 and 40 mph talking to the other Elders and not really paying attention, when suddenly there is a huge flash of light . . . If I did in fact get caught speeding on the camera, I should get a ticket mailed to me in about a month. I felt really bad about it, and I haven't sped since! Lesson! We sometimes think that in life we can just watch for speed cameras and THEN slow down. This happens when we have a sin now repent later attitude. The thing is, you just don't know when you are going to hit a speed camera! Priesthood holders, you simply do not know when you are going to be called upon to exercise your priesthood and pronounce a blessing upon the head of someone badley in need of help! Keep the commandments at all times and you will be prepared for the times when you suddenly need to exercise your faith.
