Wal-Mart Scare

Ryan, Comptyn, Nathan and I (Amy) had an interesting night the other night at Wal-Mart. We were leaving the store when we heard a lot of sirens. We decided to stop and wait to watch them go by. One police car drove by. Then 5 police cars turned down the road next to Wal-Mart. We still thought is was something behind the store in the housing section or something. We walked out to our van and as the kids were climbing in, another police car came by and actually pulled into the parking lot and drove to the other side of the parking lot. So, OF COURSE, we all hurried and loaded up so we could drive over and see what was going on! Sure enough, there were 7 police cars over there!
Come to find out we were in the store with a gun man! UGH! OK, so we found out it was a pellet gun, but we are still very grateful to have been protected and watched over. The thought of maybe passing him and him hurting one of the kids or something.....
When we had Family Home Evening Monday night and were talking about the Holy Ghost and how He protects and warns and comforts (Ryan is getting baptized on the 23rd of this month) I talked about the Wal-Mart experience. I pointed out that the Holy Ghost could have told us to get out of the store, but instead he protected us. That the police closed the store, got everyone out and caught the man without anyone getting hurt. At this point, our Bryce, ever so observant, said, "But they never close Super Wal-Mart." We are hoping he got the 'bigger' picture of that story!
