Oi Familia Tudo Bem?
Well I spoke to soon. It for some reason can't be Mother's Day with out a car accident. This Thursday Elder Herculano and I were driving to visit with one of our investigators. While we were waiting at a red light this lady comes roaring around the corner behind us going way to fast. Elder Herculano said that he saw her coming out of the rear view mirror and was just like she is going to stop. However, she didn't stop and she slammed into the back of our car. At this point it was basically just second nature and I just reached for the paperwork and the phone in one fluid motion and started dialing 911. She in the mean time had gotten out of her car and came to talk to Elder Herculano. She was saying things like, "Please don't call the cops", "your car isn't even that damaged", and "Don't call the cops I will pay for everything" etc. In her defense our car wasn't that damaged her car was totalled though. Either way I was calling 911 already so she made the wonderful choice to make a u turn and flee the scene of the crime. Elder Herculano didn't believe that she would just up and leave so when she did he jumped out of the car and wrote down her license plate number. At this point we thought that this was the end of the day so I called Elder Swendsen the Vehicle coordinator and we went to our appointment so that we could use our investigators cell phone to take pictures of the car. After we went to a member's house that was right next to where we were meeting with our investigator to send the pictures of the wreck. This part was pretty good because we had the opportunity to eat dinner with that family which was good for us and the investigator. Then during dinner I got a call from the police. They had ended up apprehending the woman that hit us. Someone had followed her after she ran and they called the police after she had stopped. The officer called the 911 dispatcher and put two and two together and helped us out. So at the end of the day justice was served and the cops were able to find out the truth because she had lied and said that we had told her to leave. Turns out that she was driving with out a license which is why she didn't want to have us call the cops. But that has been something that we have been working with since then.
Other than that though it has been a great week. We had some investigators come to church for the first time and we have seen a lot of miracles working with our investigators. It has been a great experience.
