I love your stories, Peter. They really crack me up!

In other news, I met your friend Zeke from Bellevue today. It was my last Sunday teaching Gospel Doctrine (I got released today), and as luck would have it, the other GD teacher wasn't able to teach, so both classes were combined.

Afterward, Zeke thanked/complimented me on my lesson. I said, "Thanks...I don't know you? I'm Aimee." He said his name was Zeke and that he was from Bellevue. Seriously, how many LDS Zeke's can there be in Bellevue? I asked if he knew you and he said yes, and I told him you're doing the Dragon Boat thing and it sounds like you're doing pretty well in Taiwan. He asked how I knew you and I just kept it simple by saying "Oh, we read each other's blogs, and I visited him once in Salem when he was living down there."

Anyway...small world, isn't it??

Aims: That is cool you met Zeke. He is a good guy and a great friend. He just got back from Hawaii (a family reunion, they all took a trip for a week). Glad he got to see your lesson.
