Caption/Description

A man shows how he saw Jesus Christ three times on his two-year journey from British Guyana to the United States. He is the night watchman at the recycling plant near the Pocket and grows a one-acre plot of Heirloom tomatoes which he waters every night and says that he earns about $10,000 annually selling the tomatoes. He lives in a small shack on the property.
