This IS A small world . . .

Here's a little story to show you just how small this World is . . .

Friday morning, Nicky and I were out shopping for school supplies to start our school in Gyero (will write a blog about that later). Anyways, I see another white man walking down the street, and turned to Nicky to ask her if she knew him, because usually we know the other white people here, because there aren't a whole lot of them . . . She didn't know who he was, and neither did I . . . He happened to walk our way and came over and introduced himself to us. We started talking with him, finding out what each other is doing here in Nigeria. As our conversation progressed, Nicky asked him where he was from, and he said Seattle, Washington! GO Figure . . . So I told him I was from Seattle too! There are not a lot of people here from the Northwest, most Americans that are here are from Texas . . . So I was excited to meet a fellow north westerner . . . THEN we find out that we are BOTH from SHORELINE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! He lived just a few streets down from where I lived! It was pretty funny! We spent a few minutes talking about different places in Shoreline . . . it was great! He is a 78 year old missionary who is teaching at one of the theological colleges here in Jos! We ran into him again today . . . so we chatted for a few more minutes! How crazy is that?!?!

It is a small world!!
