Being Saved by my Hubbie and Heavenly Father

My sister-in-law lives on a dirt road, just like we do. On the way to her house, I was going at a normal speed like an asphalt road. A while after I got to her house, her neighbor came knocking on the door to chew me out for raising the dust in the air and damaging the road.

First my brother-in-law answered the door and the neighbor immediately started yelling at him. He was yelling for quite some time, then my brother-in-law said, "Talk to the responsible party!" and called me out. My sister-in-law said, "That guys is a jerk! Don't talk to him!" I guess he has been mean to them and their guests for several years now. But I didn't have a choice, so I started to come out. (I was scared!)

Then, my husband said, "If he needs to talk to my wife, he will talk to me!" He lashed out and immediately recognized the guy. "Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar." Then the neighbor said, "maybe from the church?" Then my hubbie said, pointing, "Okay, I am a Christian and you are a Christian. Now let's talk like Christians!"

The neighbor immediately calmed down and wilted. After they talked for a while, they discovered that he was not only from the same church, but also our grandparents' good friend in the same ward. He had come to our Primerica meetings too. Jacob told the guy, "They are my grandparents' grandchildren. You have to be nice to them." :D

It was my fault for being careless about the dirt condition (it has been hot, so it was creating fine dust), but I was just amazed by how things turned out! I was so thankful for my young hubbie to stand up for me and that we were the members of the church; it really saved our evening ;)
