Story Time!

This is Scott...Ok, so this Tuesday, I was moved to a new area closer to the big city. Maybe you've heard of it, it's called Queens! I have to admit, I was pretty nervous for safety reasons. When I got out there I was not surprised. It was just as ghetto as I imagined, but none the less, it was very "moist" (as my coworker Kevin would call it) meaning good to knock in. I was definitely the only white boy for miles. I stuck out like Rob Zombie at an Enrique Inglesias concert. At about 6:30, I was noticing a big black guy following me from street to street. I tried to lose him but could not. I also noticed a black car following me as well. It would park while I knocked a door and then follow me down the street afterwards. Finally, it pulled up behind me and I grabbed my pen tightly, ready to stab the first person to try anything. They asked me what I was doing. I looked in the car and realized they were NYPD. They told me to hurry up and get in with them. I did so, knowing that the other guy that was following me was waiting for them to leave. We sped off. They asked me if I was stupid or something and if I had any idea where I was. I honestly did not know. They told me that the they were following me because they had seen that guy tailing me around the neighborhood. They then told me that there had already been two shootings in that same area that afternoon and there was a verdict out for white people to be shot because of a shooting the cops had a little while ago where the cops killed a black boy. They told me never to come back to that area. By that time I was pretty shaken up. They took me over to where my car group was and we left. I asked to be relocated the next day. Sorry this was so long. It is very juicy though, eh?

A story by Kaylee: So we were sitting in church, which is an interesting experience in itself because there is like a whole 30 of us or something total.   One of the bishopric members is giving a talk, and right in the middle when he's bearing his testimony and every eye is on him we hear a loud piercing ringing sound.  It was the fire alarm.  We all had to evacuate outside, brrrr.   Then came the fire engineS, the ambulance, and the policeman.   It took a while.  Come to find out it was just a faulty fire alarm in the kitchen.  Church is a whole new experience out here.
