Idaho Runaway

Well so my sister tired to convince me to go visit a family I meet when I visted her 8 years ago because the baby was getting baptized. I thought about it and thought that I could not afford it also my car was broken. So I pushed it out of reach and went on with life. Well I recieve a call friday morning saying that she was going to be there and stay through monday. Not fair I did not know this before. Idaho is only 4 or so hours away. So now i am thinking all day about this but I really don't see how this would ever be possible for me to make it there so I go to the halloween party that I was going to go to and I ask people if they want to go on a oad trip no one takes me up on the offer. finally I decide that nothing mattered anymore and that i need to go see my sister. So I sleep for four hours and pack in the morning and go. Mind you I have never... driven the car I took, droven on the freeway, in the rain, for that long, into another state, without a radio, broken 55 so I really should have died many times. However I knew that there was no way it was going to happen with out prayer and faith so I did. I made it there safe even with sleepy eyes, a wrong turn that lasted a hour, and very low tires. Did I mention that I did not know what I was doing. It was great! i had not seen my sister since christmas so I made it happen she means so much to me and I really wanted her to know that. There is something about a family that will make you do things that you never would if it was not family. So I learned that me and her are a lot alike and not just like one another but the rest of our family. I only saw good ways in which we were alike but I learned that not only are our actions alike but so are their features. It was a great experience which lead me to trust in the lord. I could not have made it there and back with out him I am greatful to know that even when no one is there that he is still there. I am greatful for my testimony in this gospel!
