On Monday morning Ken took Alice, Ryan, Limengo and Alexia to the church parking lot to meet the bus for FSY. Alice wanted to go but had mixed emotions. The mystery of her roommate remained, and she was a little concerned about the length of time, six whole days! Why did it need to be six whole days! Ken and I told her she'd love it, we told her the time would pass quickly. I prayed she would have a good time and off she went!
I got a text from Alice at 2:30 in the afternoon letting me know that her roommate was River. I still get tingles thinking about it. God is good! River and Alice were in nursery together in Orangeville Ward. River and her family moved away to Thunder Bay. I'm not sure if it was before or after we moved to Ajax, but we both left the area. Two years ago when they were moving back to the area and River was going to the temple, I got a message from her mom Katie asking if we would go to the temple too as River only remembered Alice. We met up at the temple and had a lovely night. River and Alice are both a little quiet and I don't think either of them know very many people, so for them to be matched together was just beyond amazing!
