Last Sunday past two in the afternoon, we overheard short bang of firecracker and saw a black smoke at the left rear window of the public vehicle utility which we rode in. Then the driver stopped the car.
In the whole morning, we made a visit to the Moises Padilla Branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their annual branch conference. While other Churches are having their Palm Sunday.
We were 16 of us, leaders and auxiliary officers of La Carlota Philippines District to attend the said conference to strengthen the members there, to give instructions to the local leaders, and to edify everyone especially in their faith to the Church prophet, their faith to the Lord Jesus Christ and to inspire them on how nurture their testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of the Lord and the importance of the atonement of Jesus Christ as the entire country will be celebrating the lenten season.
The conference lasted for 3 hours. Then we took our packed lunch as District leaders. While the Moises Padilla members had prepared their own lunch for their members.
By one in the afternoon, we headed home. While were about 5 kilometers to the Church meetinghouse in the District, something happened to the left rear tire of our rented service vehicle. It suddenly burst. It's good our speed is 20mph. As the car stopped slowly, we got off. Some of the male passengers assisted the driver who took 30 minutes to replace the flat tire with a spare inflated one.
Now everyone of us is asking ourselves: "Who is among us the negligent? or Is it the driver?" Then another question comes to our mind: "What about if the speed is too fast? What has happened to us?"
Well, since it was Sunday and we're all in the efforts to do the Lord's errands, we have been spared from such possible road accident if we got a reckless driver. Thank you, Lord!
