Small World!

We discovered my parents in Des Moines, IA have neighbors from Bulgaria. The Bulgarian family’s parents visited Des Moines, from Bulgaria, for 3 months this summer and were able to meet my parents. My parents gave them our contact information and the mother, Margarita, called us when they came back to Bulgaria. Drew and I met her for coffee and then went to their apartment. They live about 6 blocks from us, just on the other side of our local grocery store. I was able to speak to her all in Bulgarian and get to know her a little bit. We look forward to more encounters with them. We hope to get to know them better and we pray that my parents will be able to get to know the Bulgarian family there in West Des Moines because of this connection. Who would have figured – two different families, half way around the world, actually live houses/blocks from each other. Crazy -
