Hola Hola Familia!
Last night we were crossing the street when the flashing-white-cross-walk-dude
was on; some punk kid turning right hit my companion as we biked across the
cross walk. She flew! My bike ran into the side of his car, but somehow--with
timing wise and physics and all that--my bike tire just ended up getting stuck
between the wheel and cart, so I didn't go flying, I just like...stopped....the
angels were definitely there! I instantly jumped off my bike and ran to Hna
Escobar, lying in the street. I picked her up and walked her over to the curb,
she was having a panic attack at this point, so I just hugged her, let her cry
and yell, and called everyone- literally-- the district leader, the zone
leaders, the cops.
It was pretty chaotic, but we're all good. Hna Escobar doesn't
even have one single scratch or bruise! We were definitely being watched over!
So many people were there making a crowd and the poor punk kid
was only 18 with his little 12 year old brother and was scared that he'd have
to go to jail. So I had to deal with calming him down at the same time and the
whole time not knowing what to do even do.
Out of nowhere, someone stopped and for some reason I instantly
and only trusted him. I didn't know what to do or who else to call or how to
help Hna Escobar and she wouldn't tell me if anything hurt, and he was just
there and he was calming me down and telling me what to do and he moved our
bikes out of the road and he picked up and held our purses and he talked to 911
for us and he helped me "fight" the firefighters and paramedics to
let me in the ambulance with my companion.
He was quite the angel! When the elders came, they knew him, it
turns out he's a member of the church who hasn't come recently, and they've
only seen him once. His name is Hermano Suarez, and oh my word he is an angel,
he helped me so much! I didn't have to worry about anything.
The EMTs checked Hna Escobar and she's all good. The only "damage"
is the bike tire needed to be pumped up.

Con Carino,
Hermana Day
