Lleno, por favor. The state of evangelism in 56572


I was filling my Voodoo Blue Japanese SUV at British Petroleum in 56572 this morning when this white Chevrolet van pulled in. I had seen it before. I think they have three of them. Once the new church is finished, is a parochial school next? As the driver stood there pumping his under three dollar gasolina, he hollered out something in Spanish about tomorrow's service to a kid walking by who nodded. Just then, Mujo, a Bosnian Moslem, pulled in with his son Anel in their white Ford van. Mujo came to 56572 from Foča via Wolfenbüttel. His son Sanel is off to college this week. We greeted one another in German. The Asambleas Apostolica driver jerked his head when he heard this. He appeared to be confused. Are you? This is not Texas, this is small town Minnesota 2006.
