It's a Small World after all!

Wow, I had a great surprise this past week! Okay, where to start with this story. Back in 1993, I went to Ireland with my Mom and in one of the wards we visited I met a friend named Claire. We became good friends. I also met a friend of hers named Stephen Keery who was not a member at the time. Okay? Then I went on my mission in 1997 and in one of my areas I was attending some sort of conference and guess who I bump into? Stephen Keery. He was a missionary there for the deaf program. So we chatted for a few minutes then we may have seen each other off and on throughout the mission. Then I didn't hear anything from him since then. Well, this email I just received this last week was from both of them finding out if it was really me and I found that they are married to each other. Okay, to back up also a little bit, when Richard and I lived in Rhode Island we met a guy in our ward named Spence Rose. He was a single guy going to the same law school Richard went to. Well, we had found out that he went to Ireland on his mission and when he was talking about someone he had baptized that went to my mission I asked him what his name was and he said Stephen Keery! Wow is it a small world or what?!

SO! I hope the story made sense. I am just so amazed at how you can find people or how people you knew at one time find you years later and to be reunited as friends! I love it! I think God helps us find those friends again for a reason.

Anyways, that's my happy story for today!

Kimberly,
it is a small world, to make your even smaller, Jeremy and I went to School with Spence Rose's brother, Pat! Although your story is a little better!
