A young family
Me: To the guy wearing a shirt that says "college", "So, are you in college?"
Guy: "Yeah, I graduate in a year, you?"
Me: "Nope, I'm a post-grad waitress. What are you studying?"
Guy: "I'm studying to be a pastor, what did you study?"
Me: "Psychology and Sociology. I want to do marital counseling on the mission field...."
yada yada yada........
Guy: "I'm involved with the international missions group at Austin Stone*. Come talk to me Sunday, and I'll introduce you to the guys in charge, they would eat you up. I'm so happy we met, this is awesome"5 seconds later....
(Table 76)
A group of old men talking about church business
Old man: "Say girl, you're so young, are you school?"
Me: "Nope, I graduated"
Old man: "What do you want to do for a living?"
Me: "Eventually I want to counsel missionary couples on the mission field. Right now, I'm on mission in Austin."
Old man: "Little girl, you have blessed me. Can I shake your hand?"
Me: "Of course!"
So he grabbed my hand and said, "Praise Him!" and all the other old men agreed.
It was a great day.
*Austin Stone is what I call "The Austin Village". It's the church that I recently started to attend, and love. My first Sunday Matt (the pastor and bff of matt chandler) said, "If this is your first night here, sorry...." and used the entire hour to inform his congregation on how much emphasis the church puts on missions. How much money they spend, and how many people they support overseas. Who cried? This girl.
