member of the Church who is wearing a pats jersey over a white shirt and tie. He is the biggest Pats fan I know. He lives and breathes the team and has since he was a child. He is a convert and had season tickets for years before he joined.

After sacrament meeting the missionaries come up to him and his wife and say, "hi, wow I know who you are rooting for today!" In over excited missionary speak looking at his jersey.

He laughs and says, "oh yeah, can't wait."

The missionaries respond, holding out the missionary meal calendar, "well....we don't have a dinner scheduled tonight, would you be willing to have us over for dinner?"

I have never actually felt silence in my life, but the silence between this man and the missionaries was so palpable I could almost touch it.

The man responds, "ummmm....no."
