This week went fast at times and slow in others.
There are going to be three baptisms this Saturday, three girls from a returning-to-activity family. We are very excited!
So, Saturday night, we went out to invite this rescue family to be taught. The family is actually cousins to the member that we went out with. We plugged the address into his GPS and it took us to this trailer park along the TN/VA boarder. So we drove around the park trying to see the numbers. We came full circle and stopped for a minute to figure out what to do. The member turned off his lights so that he wasn't shining them into the house in front of us. Then we start driving again and a truck started following us, so we pull over to the side so see if the driver could help us. This guy was crazy! He got out and started demanding to know what we were doing. The member told him that we were with a church looking for his cousin.
"Your cousin don't live here! Let me see your license!"
"Are you a cop? I don't have to show you my license."
"This is private property and you'd better show me your lisence! Why did you turn off your lights!?!"
"Because we didn't want to be shining them into that house. Would you like us to leave?"
"You ain't go'in' no wheres! I've got you blocked in! We're going to wait till the law gets here!"
So our member said, "Forget this" and we drove off the property and this crazy guy starts chasing us! Like in hot pursuit. We're probably going 60-70 mph down this dark country road with this guy two feet from our bumper! "Call 911, man! This guy is crazy!" So I called 911. First, I got TN and they said, "You're in VA." So they transferred me to VA, then VA sent me back to TN, then they transfer me to the county instead of the city. Finally, after they get my name, address, phone number, ss#, and former companion's mother's maiden name, the guy finally turned around and heads off. It's a good thing we weren't in an actual emergency, or we would have been dead.
