A few weeks ago I took a trip up to the Canadian border. It was a fun experience taking pictures of the signs and looking over into another country. It was great because I have never been outside of the United States, and seeing another country was a fun experience even though we didn't cross over. I drove up to the border with a few good friends. We only spent a few minutes on the border and then we decided to start the long ride back to town. To get back on the road we had to drive through the check station. We didn't think that it would be a very big deal because it wasn't like we crossed the boarder or anything. We just took pictures. Anyway, we drove through the check station and a guy came out and talked with us. He was upset because they nor the Canadian station knew what we were doing on the border. We didn't get permission to drive up and take pictures before we actually did. He asked for Identification from everybody. To make things worse, my friend, Elder Thompson, didn't have his drivers license on him.
This was a situation that could have been avoided. While driving up to the border one of my friends turned to the driver and told him that we should stop by the border station and get permission before we actually drove clear up. Amid all of the excitement this comment was ignored and we had to suffer the consequences. This story is a lot like experiences we have everyday. We all have what is called the Light of Christ. This is our conscience. I know if we just listen to it we can avoid a lot of problems that always occur from bad decisions.
