You just never know who you'll meet at this guest house.
We had lunch with a couple and their 4-year-old twins, Jenny Beth and Jacob. Not only were the twins interesting little people, but their parents know Jeff and Jane Pelz from our church in New Zealand. Amazing.
Yesterday, we met a man named Nathan Miles. We commented that his name was close to our son's name. He said that it used to be a very uncommon name. (He's about our age.) Now, when he hears someone say, "Nathan," he always assumes it's him.
After talking with him a while, he asked if we knew the Ashleys when we were in the Solomons. We said, yes, and that Philip was one of our Nathan's best friends. It turns out that Nathan Miles is Philip Ashley's step-father-in-law. He told us that Philip and his wife are both studying medicine in Kentucky. Amazing.
Who knows who will come through the door of this guest house next!
(One more sleep until a plane ride!)
Wow, that's pretty amazing alright! =)
