Picture this, if you will. You are driving home and your car breaks down two blocks from home. As you are stranded in the middle of the road at 1 in the morning, some friendly BYU students stop to push you into the nearest McDonalds parking lot. You lock your car and hope that it doesn't get towed. The next morning you make a phone call to see how much it would be to tow your car to an auto shop.It's $40 just for the tow. Before you have it towed there, however, you walk down to McDonalds just to make sure that your car hasn't already been towed and impounded.
As you walk, you find the holy grail: an auto shop right next to McDonalds! You walk in and get things taken care of. As you are waiting a friendly stranger strikes up a conversation with you: asks if your a student, where your from, and of course, what's wrong with your car. As you leave, the friendly stranger tells you to have a good day and flashes a pretty big smile your way. SUCCESS! Even though your car broke down, communication did not! Let's all try to be a bit more like the friendly strangers this week!
