This past Friday I attended a game night hosted by a family in my new ward. The family's adults are Dave and Naomi, the latter of whom I wrote about a couple of weeks back. It was a lot of fun and I got to interact with plenty of people I hadn't met before by playing lots of weird and silly games.
At one point during the night, Naomi referenced the area from which I just moved and asked which ward I had attended. I told her and she asked if I knew a family that also attends the ward in question, the Simciks. I told her that I was very close the Simcik family and that I still stayed in touch with them since moving from that area. I asked her how she knew them. Apparently, Mark and Lori's daughter just married Dave's cousin. He and Naomi had attended the reception a weekend or two prior.
In most circumstances, I would brush it off as being a coincidence or at most serendipity, but this feels more divinely organized than that. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but it was a loving connection and I was glad to make it.
