Foreigners In HY

The past couple weeks our small city of Hengyang has seen more foreigners than it did all of last year. Well ... this may be an exaggeration... but there have been LOTS (being more than 10)
There is a grocery store that is about 1.5 miles from our campus and on a pretty day I like to walk to the store to get the groceries. One of my teammates and I walked there on Sunday afternoon and ran into 4 guys from America. We found out they are volunteering at the Orphanage and welcomed them to HY. Of course, the normal questions-- what state are you from. I say "NC" and one guy gets really excited. HIGH FIVE!! He is from Apex and lives about 2 miles from our townhouse back on JF Rd. Really what a small world. He went to Apex High School and even knows of one of our friend who teaches there.
Later that week, we all got together for dinner and fellowship. Here is the group shot.
