Opportunities of this nature come by very rarely‚ so I was extremely excited to speak with Reverend Paul after the service. What I gathered after speaking with Paul was that he may be the leader of his church‚ there to listen to his congregation but I gathered it is rare for him to have conversations of this nature.
