OOH GOODNESS!!!

ok!
so today has been a really long day, not simply for the fact that I had to be in Lehi all day, but! because........ (**flash back**)

so there we are, Alan (a co-worker) and I JUST getting on the South bound I-15 (the 31st street on ramp) and as I'm paying attention to other more important things (my doughnut) I hear Alan say "WOAH! what's that!!!?" and so I look up, and see a car, buried in the middle divider. (it didn't seem to hurt the divider at all...) and smoke coming from the engine, so Alan pulls over and hits the breaks. we both get out, and I call 911, the guy gets out of his car, and kinda sways on the spot, and without looking, starts to bolt across the freeway. at this point, Alan and I are FREAKING OUT! so once he makes it across the freeway, Alan looks at him, and asks him if he's alright. he kind of looks dazed at Alan and says "I'm really cold" so Alan assumes he's in shock, so he walks him over to the Van, (still running) and sits him down in the passenger seat facing out, and as Alan goes back to look at the car from the freeway and as I'm busy talking to the 911 dispatcher, I look over, and there goes the van, Passenger side door WIDE open, and he's driving down the 15. so needless to say we were upset, but luckily, I'm on the phone with 911! so I tell her that the van was stolen, and I swear within 2 min. there's a UHP car going at least 90 MPH southbound. that was a good feeling, to see that our tax dollars DO do something!!!

so we talk to the UHP for about an hour. and then they leave us, we cant get a hold of my boss, so we start walking... about 4 miles back to the bakery... and then finally when we get there, my boss gets back, and looks at us like "WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!" so we recount the tale, and at first he's upset... but then calms down, realizes we were just trying to help a guy...

so then about an hour later (around 11:30 id say) we get a call that they found the van! in Riverdale!!! so we go to pick it up, and they have to dust for fingerprints, and they bring a K-9 unit in... it was great! so we get the van back, and head down to Lehi, do our work, and then head home.

so we get back to the bakery, and a police officer shows up, and asks us to give a positive ID on the guy, (they had a pic) so we did... it was him, and he Tell's us, it's a good thing you weren't in his way, because he's been known to shoot people, and have weapons on him. he's also a drug dealer, and a maverick at stealing cars, plus, he's been into counterfeit money. the officer said the guy shoots people like we put on socks.....

so yea, I'm grateful that the guy just stole the van, we got it back (although I was really afraid to finish our doughnuts) and no one got hurt.
I have really gained a testimony today that the Lord watches out for us, he knows whats best for us, even having a company van stolen, it was much better than having my live taken away for trying to stop him.
GOD LIVES!
