One Degree of Separation! A Mutual Acquaintance

I had a better conversation with the President this morning than I did at the opening ceremonies.  The USA swim team met him in a hallway at the swimming pool.  Here's my conversation, amidst about 50 reporters and a bunch of other people:
 
Me: Mr. President did you get to go to church this morning?

President:  Yes, I did. I know some people at Dallas Theological Seminary that sent some missionaries out here and I spent some time with them at their gathering.

Me: Mr. President, my grandmother was a missionary, and my dad was born on the mission field of India.

(At this point the President stopped multi-tasking.  He directed all his attention at me, reached out, shook my hand again and leaned in closer)

President: Glad to hear it.

Me: Mr. President It's good to know that my president is a Believer.

President: Thank you.  Swim fast in your race.
