When I was moving out of state something went wrong and the persons taking all of my furniture decided that they didn’t need it after all. I needed help because I had to be out of the apartment by the middle of the following day. I was very upset having no way to move it out or anywhere to take it all. Preston and Taylor told me not to worry, they would take care of it. Preston said don’t worry we got it.
The next day 3 truckloads of teenagers pulled up with Preston in the lead and a giant smile on his face. He said “We told you not to worry”. Then he did what he was good at and lead the way for them to get things loaded up. The last I saw him was when we left that day. I will always remember the last time I saw him with that big ole shinning grin on his face because he was able to help someone Again.
My heart goes out to you all. I pray for your peace.
