I've had a couple of remarkable encounters, but the most remarkable was this one--When we lived in Japan we attended an off-base Baptist church, with a congregation that was pretty evenly split between Japanese and American (sermons were in English, but we had a translator and headphone jacks in the pews). The church had an odd status with the Southern Baptist convention, because it was sort of a missionary post but not really....but when we needed a new pastor it took some time to get one, and for three months we had a missionary filling in as an interim pastor. We didn't stay in touch with him and his wife after that beyond Christmas cards, but fast forward four years--we moved from Japan to Oklahoma. The missionary and his wife were serving in Korea, I think. We went to Tennessee so that Brad could visit his girlfriend, and we had arranged to pick him up in the food court of a local mall. <br /><br />Where we ran into the missionary's wife. She was in town visiting family and they had happened to stop in the mall right before heading to the airport for her flight back to Korea.a grey eyed girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455483261467556543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729244346034761019.post-76675666022375216092010-10-07T17:58:59.266-04:002010-10-07T17:58:59.266-04:00We loved The Nosebag!

Mom and I had made a pledge to not eat at the same place more than once while we were there (she was in a summer school course, so we were there for a number of weeks). Anyway, we ate at The Nosebag almost every day. <br /><br />And had multiple dinners at a French restaurant called Rouge, Blanc, Bleu. And some great dinners at a restaurant called Tackley (if I'm remembering correctly). That was a wonderful summer!Rooiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855810263415029931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729244346034761019.post-5392897614217834452010-10-07T12:00:59.041-04:002010-10-07T12:00:59.041-04:00The Nosebag, eh?
