After he left I sat and talked to the quintuplets.  They seemed nice and a lot like Michael. 

            “Hey Jordan, do you want to do and get a bite to eat?” Michelle asked.

            “Yeah sure, but what about Louie, shouldn’t we wait till he comes back?” I asked. 

            “No, he said he wouldn’t be back for another hour or so and he only left a few minutes ago.  We should be back before he is,” she explained.

            “Oh ok then, let’s go,” I replied.

On the way back from dinner I wondered if they went to church. 

            “Hey, so do you go to church?” I asked.

            “Yes, well me and the kids do but not Michael,” said Michelle.

            “Oh why not Michael?” I asked.

            “I usually have work, and when I don’t have work I usually sleep.  I also really just don’t get Christianity.  Obeying and praising this thing that is three things at once and how he can do everything and anything with just saying it.  I don’t know, it just doesn’t make sense to me. ” he replied.

            “Ok well have you tried talking to the pastor of your church?” I asked.

            “Yeah, but he doesn’t explain it right so I still don’t get it,” he said.

            “Then you should come to church with us, ok?”

            “Ok, sure.”

            “Cool, can’t wait!” I said.

The next day came quickly; it seemed like I snapped my fingers and I was awake and ready for church.  Their church starts later than mine back home so I had to wake up earlier than usual for church. 

“Time to go Jordan,” Michelle yelled up the steps.

“Ok, coming,” I replied as I rushed down the stairs.  Everyone was waiting for me downstairs.  We all walked out the door like a big family, and I felt like part of their family.  It was a good feeling since the only real family I had was Louie.

“So, is your church far from here?” I asked once we were all in the car.

“Not too far,” replied Michelle. 

“Ok good,” I said. She was right we were there in no time.  The church was small but it looked like a good place for worship, especially when I walked into the sanctuary; my point was proved even more.  There were stained glass windows, a choir on stage, and a lot of young people in the pews.  I saw many teens going into a room to the right in the sanctuary.

“Is that the youth group?” I asked Michelle.

“Yes, you can go there if you want to,” replied Michelle.

“Ok,” I said. “I’ll meet you right here after service, ok?”

“K, see ya!” She replied.  I walked into the door and looked around. 

“Hello,” said a voice from behind me. 

“Hi,” I said as I turned around.

“You must be new,” he said.

“Yeah I’m just a visitor, I’m visiting family,” I replied. 

“Oh ok, well I’m jack.  What’s your name?” said Jack.

“I’m Jordan, nice to meet you Jack,” I answered.

“Nice to meet you Jordan, Where are you from?” he asked.

“Ohio, you?” I asked.

“Haha, nice sense of humor,” he said.

“Thanks,” I replied.

“Well Jordan feel free walk around and play some games we are going to get started pretty soon.”

“Ok, thanks,”
