First off I want to give a shout out to our
amazing home teachers: Steve Killian and Evan Brinley
They are by far the best home teachers I have ever had.
They are so on top of it and we actually invite them to
things and like hanging out with them.
Evan was cracking me up during dinner.
Anyway...half way through dinner a few of
noticed that this random guy at the other
table kept looking over at us and pointing.
We didn't think much of it.
So then he comes up to us as he is leaving and
asks if we are Mormon.
What gave it away?
No alcohol, modesty, clean conversation?
So we replied yes and I could tell he
kinda wanted to stick around.
Anyway...we talk for awhile and
it would be important to note
that each person came to about
$30 a piece so you do the math.
(It was a pretty expensive restaurant
in Scottsdale. Apparently Steve knows
of crazy places like these. )
The bill comes...
and of course Steven refuses to let
any of us pay...and then....
our waiter
states that the nice gentleman from the
other table
picked up our tab.
We couldn't believe it.
How amazing is that?!
I felt so bad for not talking to him more.

So we got his name: Jason Hendrix
Steve says he will try to find him
at work tomorrow.
(He works for the governor)
So I decided the next time I go to Sonic...
actually I never really go to Sonic
so more like QT or Paradise Bakery
actually I never really go to Sonic
so more like QT or Paradise Bakery
or wherever...I am going to pick up someone's tab.
It may not be $200 worth...
but as they say...
"what comes around goes around"
or
"pay it forward"
Take your pick.

What a fun little blessing! Here's an idea...next time you see the missionaries out to eat, spot their tab :) My sister did that while I was out and emailed me and told me about it and then amazingly a few days later a member in the ward took us out to eat.
Cool story! Was he LDS too?
That's pretty cool. I always love it when people leave impressions on you that make you want to give more and do better.
Thats such a fun story! I love the idea of paying it forward!
