I missed the bus today.  Normally this wouldn’t have been a big deal except I was about two feet from the stop when the bus came by.  It didn’t even slow down.  It was several minutes early as well.  Waiting for the next one would have put me being late for work and I wasn’t sure that there was anyone at home to take me.  Luckily a guy passing by saw what happened and offered me a ride to campus.

Seemed normal enough at first.  Talked a bit about school and such.  Then he brought up religion.  I tend to be fairly open about the fact that I don’t particularly believe in organized religion, which ended up being a bit of a mistake in this case.  He turned out to be a very recently returned LDS missionary.  So for the rest of the ride and several minutes in the parking lot I got a sales pitch/lecture about how great the church is.  He didn’t want to let me out of the truck until I accepted a free copy of the Book of Mormon.  I also have a card containing a phone number that I should call on the minuscule chance I want a missionary to come to my home and give a more in-depth pitch.  Fun times.
