Yesterday we went to church and were surprised when someone grabbed Brian’s hand from the side to shake it and it was Fred from our days in Houston! They carpooled for several years to work at ExxonMobil in Baytown and I had his daughters in Young Womens. We had our regular primary teaching obligations during the meeting yesterday but jumped at the chance to have him come to dinner and catch up. It gave me some much needed ambition to get together a nice home cooked meal beyond leftovers. Brian made pandan chicken and grilled it on the barbeque, Ben wanted to help and peeled ten potatoes and three carrots ny himself so he got mashed potatoes, I made home made dinner rolls and chopped a fresh and delicious watermelon. So much better than the original plan of ikea frozen meatballs (which is probably what we’ll have tonight). Fred came bearing gifts of gorgeous Asian deserts he picked up at the bakery by his hotel.
We had a great time finding out what everyone in Houston is doing and Fred told us that Trevan, another great Houston friend was flying in that very day too. Looks like Trevan will make a quick stop by our house on Wednesday night. He has a few more stops to make though as his family actually lived here on our street just three doors down from our home a couple years ago so he has lots of old friends to visit in Singapore and one night to do it in. Can’t wait for Wednesday!
