A Crazy Story

So we were out knocking and we knocked on this guys door.  He came to the door with a videocamera so we thought, "Oh, he was probably making family home videos".  No, the camera was for us.  he opened the door and didn't say anyting and pointed to a 'no soliciting' sign (while filming us).  He said, "you guys don't know what no sliciting mean, your soliciting my time".  The he pointed the camera to Elder Fordhams nametag and said, "just what I thought Latterday Saints".  And then he said, "i'll give you 10 seconds before I beat the tar out of you".  He then patted a gun that he had stuck in his pants.  So I said "yes sir" and we walked away.  we had one house left and coincedentally we were parked in front of his house!  So we knocked on the next door and came bak to our truck to leave and he was waitng on his driveway still filming us and said, "are you gonna stay parked there?" And we said "no we are just leaving" and we told him that we would tell the missionaries not to come back".  He said "that's what they all say, only Jesus will save the next ones that knock on my door".  So we got out of there and now on our whiteboard in our room we wrote, never go to that house: he will hurt you and has a gun.  Super crazy!
