December 9/10

I was driving home from work. I was on I-405 N when this truck merged onto the freeway. I can't remember at what point... anyway... they were swerving all over the place. It was scary to watch so I kept my distance behind them. We both merged onto I-5 N. They were still driving erractically. I became rather worried. Thinking the driver is probably tired or inebriated. Then these thoughts of, what if they got into a crash, which was completely possible as they were almost driving into the cars next to them. What if something happened to them. What if I was the last one to see them before they wrecked. Any other drivers were speeding past them, I was the only one behind them.

I thought there was nothing I could do, as the feeling that I need to do something came over me. I thought, is there anything I can do? At that point, I got this from the Holy Ghost:

"You can call 911 and tell them what you see and give them the information you know"

The thought of calling the police worried me. I don't want any run ins with the police. I asked, what do I do? I got this in return:

"I'm leaving this action up to you. You know what you can do. Whether or not you choose to take action is your choice to make"

I continued to follow them. I decided I needed to do something. I couldn't have it on my conscience  of what if's and  I could've done something and didn't. I called 911 and told them what I saw and gave them as much info as I could.

I continued to follow them until when we got to exit 189, they pulled over into the shoulder. Its my exit anyway so I kept going and came home. It would have been strange if I had pulled over with them.

I couldn't help but feel that I should have called 911 sooner. I got the message of:

"You need not to worry. You did the right thing."

That helped me feel better. I just hope that state patrol found them and that they are ok.
