Not a coincidence

Life is never dull, no matter where you live, but it's been an interesting ride for us this last year and a half. As I recall our life has been a ride ever since I was told that we were having twins 14 years ago. This last week was very interesting. My brother's buisness partner knows a guy- Walter who happens to be doing some mission work in the DR, and give him our contact information. Who knows if we will get together or not!?! Long story short is:
- we meet up with Walter and he gets us a great deal at the hotel he is staying at on the coast (We went to pick up Terry and Jill at the airport)
- While we are driving Terry's vehicle, it get's impounded. (long story)
- Walter talks to the hotel manager who helps us turn a full day adventure into something somewhat shorter and not as legal. (long story)
-Walter introduces us to some of his friends (Friesens from Manitoba- Bob went to school with their neice)
- Walter hopes to buy a vehicle and wonders if we know of one for sale- One of our Dominican staff members is selling his vehicle and can use the extra money to help with his father's medical bills
- On the way home, our vehicle fights for it's life, and ends up having to limp home, only 15 minutes from our town!!
- We realize how small our world is, and once again, how big our God is.

The picure is horrible, none of us look good, but see Walter.... what a small world!
