Forever Friends

This blog posting is a little late. Last weekend Tom and I made two new wonderful friends by the way of Brian. He went on a mission to Taiwan several years ago. One day he was out on the street and he waved at a man that was across the street. He didn't know the man. The man crossed the street to help Brian because he thought that he needed directions since he was a foreigner.

The man crossed the street and found out that Brian did not need help with directions. Brian or Elder Miller at the time just wanted to know if he would like to know more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Well in fact the man (named Wesley) did want to know more about this religion that Elder Miller was trying to share.

Brian left the area to teach in another city and other missionaries taught Wesley about this religion that was new to him. He later became a member and was baptized. Brian and Wesley kept in touch and at this time Wesley and his workmate Jody are living and working in Vancover, Washington for a few years before they return to Taiwan. (They are both engineers and each have fiances' waiting for them back in Taiwan)

We were thrilled that they travelled to CDA, Idaho to spend the July 4th weekend in our home. They were amazing people. Kind, positive, charming, funny,intelligent and humble. We were sad to see them leave on Monday afternoon.

We played the game Apples to Apples with them and they had so much fun trying to figure out the meaning of all the English words in the game.

I sent them home with a little note and an Apples to Apples card inserted inside. A word that I felt described each of them. Wesley's word was courageous and Jody's word was exquisite. Please read Wesley's comment about his word under comment in the Brian and Wesley post. This will give you and idea as to the kind of person he is. Enjoy reading and thank you for following my blog.
