What A Coincidence!

When Elder and Sister Ball mentioned their friends from Boise were coming for a visit, we didn't expect to know them too.
It wasn't until we were at the MTR a few days ago at the same time and waiting in the same spot for the train, when a guy standing next to us approached us and asked, 'Aren't you the Bodilys?'
We thought, how would you know?
We didn't recognize him at first, but when he said he was Jeff Wilcox, Maryann Wilcox's son from Meridian 8th ward, we took a second look, and then knew exactly who he was.  Of course, he was just a teenager when we saw him last.  Now he is all grown up with a wife and kids,
 and low and behold, 
he works for the Balls in maintaining their landscaping.
He and his beautiful wife, Joann were in Hong Kong visiting Elder and Sister Ball for a week, and by coincidence we stood next to each other in a rather large train station with 4 possible platforms to be catching a train.

This was taken as we just got back from church and once again, by coincidence, we ended up at the elevator at the same time as these two.
Side note:  I served with his mom in YW when she was the president and I was a camp leader.
