Missions Trip!

[Susan]

I am going on a 5 day mission trip tomorrow to bring the Gospel to Mormons in Utah.
As I and my friends will be on the road for the better part of a day, please pray for safe travel.
Pray that when I arrive, that I will lead people to a true and saving relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
BTW please keep the discussions going in threads I have started or am a frequent participator in, as I don't want to see these discussions die just yet.
One more thing. I will try to clear my PM box somewhat, but if it fills up and and you can't get in, e-mail me instead.

Here's the answer to a question I posted in another thread, LOL

God bless, and have fun serving the Lord! We are the hands and feet of Christ.

I'll pray for your safe arrival and the success of your ministry!

 

[Susan]

Father I’m lifting Susan up in prayer before You - Grant her the knowledge to know what You want her to do. To act in a way pleasing to You. Guide her tongue to speak only what you desire her to speak. Give her the right words on the right time. Use her Dear Lord to teach the people all about You. I ask all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ – Amen

 

[Blessed-one]

I'm praying, May God's hand be with you and strengthen you!

OK, here's what happened:
There were 50 other people on this trip, including some very close friends.
On the first day, Sunday, we left California. Unfortunately, there was this HUGE forest fire burning over Interstate 15, so we had to take a detour through mountain side streets in Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear, which added at least 3 or 4 hours to the trip. We ended up stopping in Las Vegas at about 1 am Monday and sleeping on the floor in a Christian school's gym. AAAGH.
We arrived in Utah the next day, a tiny town named Manti. Not much there except for a few stores, a city park, a library, a Mormon temple, and the "Mormon Miracle Pageant," where we were conversing with people and handing out tracts showing the inconsistencies within Mormonism. (BTW if anyone wants my honest opinion about that "pageant," lol, PM me. A preview, I thought it was and so dishonest abt history that it made me and )
We did that Tuesday and Wednesday (BTW if you are ever in Manti stop by Miller's diner across from the fire department/ambulance station. You can get a medium fountain vanilla Coke for 89 cents, and the food is reasonably priced.)
On Thursday we handed out more literature in Salt Lake City and then at the pageant again.
Many of my friends were able to get into some deep discussions with people. I wasn't, but did engage in a lot of small talk and hand out a lot of information from the Mormonism Research Ministry. My love of Chihuahuas opened one door: a family visiting the pageant had brought along the sweetest little Chihuahua possible, named "Taco." LOL but we were able to talk.
On Friday, we couldn't drive all the way back to El Cajon so we stayed in Vegas again. The only place we could find a cheap group rate on rooms was at a casino called Circus Circus. yeeeew.
(and NO, none of us gambled, not even the people who were 21 or older and legally could.)
We got back about 2 hours ago.

Glad you are back Susan!

BTW guess what I found lurking in my e-mail today. I don't want to be banned by the mods permanently for anything. let me only say it was , it made me and , I have formed an organization opposing it, and I think i know who sent it. (a guy from another Christian MB that I have joined.) Because whoever the sender was, he sent it through my return-mailer. An impressive bit of hacking, and I only know 3 hackers who would stoop to such a *pervert*ed thing.

 

[Susan]

Thing is, I thought it was an e-mail that I had sent at first, when I saw the sender address, then I opened it. . .
garbage. perverted garbage.

 

[Auntie]

Susan,

Go to the "Suggestions and Bugs" forum. There is a thread there about email hacking...

 

[Susan]

I asked someone about it, he said that most likely the p*rn spammer forged the address. Sickening. Do you have any idea on preventing this, other than filtered ISPs and not annoying known fans of evil?

So far, I've never received any spam like that. But I do get spam, and I don't know what to do about it. The only real solution is to change your email address, but that is kind of drastic. Will your ISP allow you to have 2 addresses? If so, you could use one address for "real world" friends and family, and the other address for BB's and online friends.

It's a problem. I'm thinking of changing my email address. I'll get 10 emails and only one will be legitimate, the other 9 are spam.

 

[Susan]

Yeah. . .it's not good.
Thing is, I do not normally get spammed. I have never gotten such spam before at any time.
That is why I assumed that Polymathematicianic from Christian BBS was at fault: he is a fan of the garbage in question, and it is known to him that I oppose his views and viewing habits.

Susan I am glad you are back. The seeds that you had sow will bear many fruit with time to come. May you work for God be blessed.
