After Rhett asked she looked surprised at the question (like: "you just asked if there was anything that you could pray about for me, not 'Can I get some ketchup, please.'")After the slight hesitation, she asked if we would pray for her dad, Aubrey, and then she small talked a bit, and then added her brother to the prayer list, who has the same name as her father. It was neat how her demeanor changed after that; she became really personable coming by to make small talk periodically. I look forward to the next time that we go back and ask her about her dad and brother. -- Maybe that's the secret: ask to pray, pray not just at that moment, but continue to pray for that person and their prayer request(s), and then continue to follow-up periodically, so that they know that we actually care and it's not just a one-time event, not just something we do to say that we completed mission one and check it off our list. This is life, people need to know that someone cares, even if it is a stranger... Rhett and I undertook this mission last night at Mutts.
