Big Ben and Breakfast

Catching up with dear friends within 24 hours was almost too much to handle this week, when I was down in London on business.

If one of our Belgium Netherlands missionaries is in town, you better believe we’ll drop everything to make a visit happen!

On Tuesday I saw Ashlynn Lybbert Thomas post on social media that she had just arrived in town with her husband Carter.

I reached out and we were able to meet up briefly late afternoon at the foot of Big Ben.

It was such fun to catch up even if it was for only 20 minutes.

Then on Wednesday morning I had delicious breakfast with Gage Norton at the Dishoom Indian Restaurant in Kensington.

If ever you want a delicious breakfast in town – that place comes with our highest recommendation!

Being able to catch up with all the news of two of our returned missionaries who were in London for just a few days was really special.

It meant a lot to reconnect, even for just a short time.

These quick visits reminded me how meaningful it is to stay in touch with people who’ve shared in some of the most important parts of your life.

I’m really grateful for these special brief moments, even in the middle of a hectic week!

Who’s someone you’d love to bump into again this weekend?
