okay
are you guys scared i don't know i'm a little bit nervous i am so extremely glad that none
of my siblings were there what was it like this morning having your family around ariel who's
calling it's my mom she's calling you she's calling me i'm not answering it do you guys
want to answer you can answer if you want except i don't think i don't know if i can handle it so
what do you think she's going to say should she talk you to come back home tonight
i don't think so
my mom knows i'm gone she sent me a text that says at least you could have love enough to
tell me goodbye she sent me a picture of me and my little brother also this morning my little brother
he saw me walking down the stairs and he comes running down the hall hey vana
giving me a big ol hug i love you
this is probably the hardest thing i had to choose to leave the family or stay there
it's probably one of the hardest things i've ever done
someone reached out to us and donated a home for you girls to stay in
and it's just a temporary home since you're starting over from scratch
there was just somebody that decided they wanted to donate their home
because they're not using it anyways in the polygamous communities they'll say that all
the outsiders are wicked and bad and they're not they care and there are people that want to help
these look nice it's like a real place tomorrow we're gonna go get some furniture
and we're gonna make sure that we get the whole place set up for you guys
who wants to open it she's like i want to open it go ahead
oh this is this is so neat that's so awesome
are you guys excited this is your place i'm thrilled i even got the key yes you do
vanna has physically escaped but she looks like she's just really closed off
and i keep wondering if vanna's really happy let's go upstairs when people leave the flds
community they can't just go back it's not like they order because the order welcomes back their
people as a strategic move so that they can make an example of them for anyone else who's
considering leaving and saying look they tried it they came back so why would you try it here tennis
the only way back into the flds community is to get expressed permission from warren jeffs
i think for vanna her family really has an effect on her and that could be something
that makes her go back is that it yep how do you feel sad because i'm gone yeah so
at least you have each other yeah we definitely do
just squeeze it and lift there you go today we're helping vanna and ariel get some basic
essentials for their house i'm gonna grab the other end some furniture and stuff to help them
move forward and get on their feet because they they have nothing you got it yeah there you go
there's a few more things pixel frames you guys are so darn sweet thank you so much
you're so welcome i'm so excited for you guys having our own place it feels different but
then it feels exciting but they're still in the back of my mind there's still sadness that we had
to leave them but i'm i don't regret anything i did i'm excited about this hang that one up
that's cute a lot of memories what does it mean to have like warren's pictures all over the house
just to help us remember him that's what it's doing that's why i want to remember
him though how do you feel about him i have a picture of warren with me really
how does it make you feel when you look at it
i actually don't know because i've never met him i mean when you meet
somebody then it means more to you you know
do you remember him i remember you met him yeah what did you what was your experience like with
him um like after church and stuff would shake hands we'd go shake hands with him and
was there a peaceful feeling it was there just it was for me
normal feeling yeah there was a peaceful feeling there
do you guys still believe that warren is your prophet because i've been taught that my whole
life it's going to stick yeah do you want it to stick um do you have never done anything to me
to like offensive or anything so let's hang these ones up so it's been good
do you know why people go to prison yes i do and i know why they said that he's in prison
yeah but i mean personally i don't believe it how did it make you feel when he was
with little 14 year old girls i don't i don't believe it
my thoughts on the religion they haven't changed
the thoughts with uncle warren and what people say about him
it doesn't affect me because i believe what i believe and i think that's how it's going to stay
but i left because i knew ariel could make it on their own she's like a butterfly she goes
from one thing to the next so fast i guess i just feel like a little bit of her protector
being here for her it's gonna be hard for me without you know the family it's just us
us too it's just i don't know it's gonna be way harder it's gonna be way different
it's just as long as at the end of the day you're happy with yourself and your choices that's what's
important don't worry about like what anyone else thinks or even to us it may be completely foreign
or we don't understand it don't worry about that just worry about making yourself happy
because they're so fresh out i have to bite my tongue if i want to talk
about warren jeffs or polygamy because they were so secluded and grew up so sheltered
it was indoctrinated into them warren is the prophet and he is the true one yet i know
that prison is a bad place and you don't go to prison unless there has been proof against you
that's where bad guys go he is a sick man and there are photos and there is proof and he is a
he is a monster i don't think ariel would go back but i am worried that vanna will
i can help them physically leave but i cannot help them emotionally leave
and i wish that they would believe in themselves over a man in prison my hopes are that the people
that they come in contact with in the outside world will help them understand what reality
is and they can get out of their fairy tale nightmare pictures my dad know his girls oh
you
