The Unknown Visitor

There it was out of nowhere a black limousine, making a turn in The Immaculate Conception parking lot. Stopped at our doorstep. Father John felt uneasy and why? He pulled on the bell to alert the nuns to come to his calling those not with the children. Ding, dong, ding dong, dong.

" Yes, Father John whats this matter that you need a Sister? Sr. Genevieve came. He pointed for her to look outside and pulled back the curtains. " Father, my goodness I fear this for some reason."

A big man wearing a tuxedo opened the back door. A tall lady dressed in a dark suit and heels stood up wearing dark sunglasses. Outside sunny, June weather, a chill in the air this early morning.

Sister Mary Francis called the deputy sheriff on the property, filling him in and they came pronto. " Mam where are we going? The Deputy sheriff asked her abruptly." How did you get in here without permission? Then a Sheriff's helicopter landed in our yard safety of the children.

The lady kept right on going," I don't need your permission," she barked at them as if she owned the place. Finally, Father came from behind them, using the side entrance to come out. " Yes, I am Father John, what do you want

This is private property?

She handed him papers, Mrs. Nelson, this is on my property I just had willed to me. My Great-grandfather just died. Go ahead it's true."

Father John: "I'm not going to let you in around the children, you are not legal as far as I'm concerned. No background checks are done for you anything. This could be a lie to steal our children."

The Sheriff yelled into a loudspeaker, get back into your car and leave, or you will be escorted. Next, take out your license for me.

Then checked it. Wrote up tickets, trespass, breaking, and entering. They are permitted to leave and appear in court.

Soon she got back into the limousine with her driver leaving slowly until the back license plate was out of sight. The Sheriff left after they changed the locks on our gate a locksmith

Afterward, all upset Father John read the document.

" What's it is it, Father, the nuns asked? " Well, my dears it is a document of a deed to our Farm. The above-mentioned subject is The Immaculate Conception property owned by Baxter Fang. So old he's dead now.

The Nuns start crying, "It's nostalgia here why everyone's home." Father Joe and Sr. Francis paced a bit in front of the window. Bright sun shining in made a shadow of them both unique looking if we weren't so sad.

The doorbell rang Sr. Genieve let them in the home's lawyer Finny Stone. " Hello to you all sorry to hear such news, upsetting is what it is, let's see what we can do.

They gathered at the meeting room table, Finny Stone put out a spreadsheet. Sisters sat crying, big tears while grabbing Kleenex to dab at their eyes. " We are so scared to death they'll take the kids ."

Father Joe paced in front of the kids again, smoking a pipe. Father John," Girls it will work out it just has to." Even he felt like crying his eyes out. How could this happen?

Soon neighbors were informed, and they could hardly believe their ears. How can they help save the children's home before it's too late? Questions after question, what leads to this supposed truth?

Another lawyer came with more information, to deliver. Enoch Sawyer set up a screen to write on with a dry eraser. " Today I've found out that The Immaculate Conception is set on a reservation gifted by an Indian. He had much wealth and prestige in this part of the Village. Donating a lot of land to the Catholics and Amish, Mennonites, Old Order. They signed a treaty in approval of a gift. The elders, of the Indians, Catholic Priests, and Nuns, as well as the Amish, signed the document. See this ok right here.

He then pointed to the screen with the document. I feel relieved, This lady either read it wrong or is telling untruths. Hopefully, she gets it together or it's going to be a fight. And I'm up to it, let's take um on."

The sound of a gut defense team, and we have orders to keep alarms on at all times this is our private property. They will receive a letter from us right away I'm gonna fax it over. Right now on my computer with their lawyer. Please give me a minute while I do."

The group sat at the conference table, listening to the fax going through making an odd loud noise. Then it stopped and they sent a document back to us. They all felt nervous about this whole thing.

Lawyer Enoch Sawyer: "I'm going to read you the letter sent back to us in response. Here goes. Dear Immaculate Conception Church, I received your letter back in response to my deposition. From the Desk of James L. attorney at law. And client, feels we are not being unreasonable in the request to take over the children's home after all. This is my grandfather's land and I feel it's owed to me. The transfer will be easy if you simply follow instructions. We plan on making a smooth transition. You will all be transferred out and my employees will take over your places. I will give you twenty-four hours before you make your decision Thank you until we talk again.

Everyone was flabbergasted by it all almost an individual who is so bold as to pull a stunt like that. Our two lawyers agreed, and manage

To make sure they follow through and are taken off the deed to the land donation for good And legally make it a binding contract to hang out on the wall where folks can see and observe it.

The day came right out of a terrible Tuesday kind of day. We all made it a bit upset and heartbroken yet it will all work out.
