Unexpected Compliment

Today, after some rest, we decided to walk around the french quarter, near our hotel. We listened to some street musicians, we checked out some stores, and we scouted out some food. On our way back, this guy, wearing medical scrubs, stopped us and started asking us questions. "Hey, are you guys Lutherans?" "Let me tell you something, last time you were here, I was working at a restaurant, and we got really busy; and you Lutherans, stepped up and started pulling drinks and busing tables. You guys come not to be served  but to serve. You guys are welcome here any time." Then he said "You guys are going to be our best citizens." Then we thanked him, and walked away, with big shoes to fill.
