(Warning: you will need to read my past blog called spirited aerobic to understand who I'm talking about in this blog...)
The week after my gym friend gave me the Bible tract, I approached her after class and told her that I was a Christian. She was happy to hear it, but she couldn't speak at all. When I asked her what her name was, she had to write it for me on a napkin! But, nonetheless, I told her my name and why I was here in Hollywood (a little bit about DOOR, PATH, etc...) and that I was going to Hollywood Presbyterian Church. I asked her if she had a church to go to, and she said she did. But I invited her to Hollywood Pres anyway.
Fast forward to Sunday morning. I had let Brian drive my car home since it was late Saturday when he left, so I was walking to church and he was going to meet me there with the car. As I turned onto Hollywood Blvd, I happened upon my gym friend! I said, "Carole, hello, it's so good to see you! I'm actually just going to church right now. Would you want to come with me?" And she nodded! So then we walked to Hollywood Pres the rest of the way and she came inside with me. I showed her where Brian and I were going to sit, and asked if she wanted to sit with us, but she felt more comfortable sitting in the back. But I looked at the end of the service, and she stayed through the whole thing! So she must have enjoyed worshipping there.
Now whenever I go to gym class I say Hi to her! Yay! I have made a new friend!
