My thoughts:
When I interviewed the preacher, it was very hard to understand what he was saying. He also kept looking out the window in a paranoid way; my guess would be because he was nervous “mistuh jesus” would come back for him. His cabin was very nice, there weren’t any weeds outside and he had his little bible on the coffee table. I didn’t get much from this interview because he seemed annoyed by my presence. I was only there for about 5 minutes. I think he just wants to be alone for the rest of his life. I also had to tape record our conversation because of his pronunciation of words. In the end, I just decided to let the old man be by himself. Oh and on my way out I ran into “mistuh jesus,” and he told me that he was on his way back to get some water from the old man like he promised. Since then, neither Jesus nor Preacher were ever seen from again.

Here's a candid shot of him I found on the floor of his cabin:
