| We had an unexpected visitor in sacrament meeting today. I finished playing the sacrament hymn and slid down into my chair next to the organ bench and looked up. There, about three rows behind Joyce, Julia and "the" Rachel was someone who looked very familiar. I looked again and realized that it was Elder Nichols! He had served in Nashua back in 2009. His parents came to Boston to pick him up and they visited us before flying back home. He had flown to Boston to interview with an accounting firm hoping for an intern position for next summer, a year away. I caught his eye and we did little waves at each other. After the sacrament I went down to sit the family and leaned over and said to "the" Rachel, "Elder Nichols is here!" She said, "Where?!?" I said, "About three rows back" and pointed with my thumb. After the meeting block we talked for several minutes in the foyer and then Joyce invited him over for dinner. There were people he wanted to visit so he rode home with me in the Toyota and then I let him borrow it so he could go see people. He came back a little before 5 PM and we had dinner together and had a wonderful time catching him up on everything. We then took him to seminary graduation where he hooked back up with the Bentalls. That's where he has been staying. I took a couple of pictures after we ate dinner together. |
