Surrounded by friends

With the rain gently falling outside, we were toasty and warm inside the Nausin's home, with the chatter of friends and good smells. 

  Nate introduced Kelsi to many friends and neighbors

relatives who had traveled down

and even a missionary companion of Nate's showed up with his wife.

 The Goodwins found out the Bettridges were from Alaska and mentioned their son was serving in Alaska

 just to find out the Bettridges had just moved in to the ward he is currently serving in and had had the missionaries over for dinner in the last town he had served in.  It's a small world when you know others in the church.
