Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I've seen him again. We've been in contact, actually. Really? Afterwards, yeah. Yeah, because it was the very beginning of the deployment. So as the deployment went on, we talked more and established a friendship and everything. But he lives in Oregon. Well, did you ask him how he knew? Excuse me.

He was a very holy guy, so I knew it was like the Lord put it on his heart. Was he a Catholic too? Yeah. This was right after church on one day. One of the first days I went there, I went to Mass, and he was there. And so the first words out of his mouth are? You're thinking about being a priest, aren't you?

You know, I think that stuff happens all the time, but we're just not paying attention to it. We're all in our own little worlds. God's still working, man. Like, He's all around. We just got to open our eyes, get out of our little bubble. We also got to be bold. You know, I think at the very beginning, we talked about boundaries and saying no. We've talked about it outside, too.

Whenever we say that, whenever we speak the truth, like, God works through that. So I think... Not only do we need to be more aware of how God is working around us, we need to be aware of how He's working in us and be bold in the way we talk. You can say some stuff that's going to be awkward. It's going to hurt. It's not going to be comfortable, but it's what needs to be said.

That's a terrifying thing. Um, so yeah, so he, that was, that was an example of like all these, I say little things, there were big things, but they just kept adding up one after another. And then, uh, eventually I contact the, the diocese of Little Rock, which is where, where I live in the Catholic church.

We got, if you think of it like a state, the geographical region of a group of churches would be called a diocese, which is what we call it. Um, so I contact, the area where I live in Little Rock, and tell them, hey, I'm interested in being a priest. Can I come visit and talk to you guys? So I flew back and just visited with them, went to visit the seminary.
