That's the quote of my other roommate, Damaris after the story we heard tonight. Our neighbor, Vita, came over to tell us about her trip to Laos. Vita is from Lithuania, 29, beautiful, has been in Thailand 3 months and works with refugees. Well, did work. Her job ended a few days before she left on her trip. She went for about a month, started in the north and headed south to see Laos.
Well...as it turns out...she had a companion on the trip. He's from California, but is a pastor of a church in Albania. An American (no doubt) thinking that Lithuania is close to Albania, tried to set them up. Well, after emailing for about 3.5 months, he decided to come "see Laos". Right. They trekked all over, small villages, big cities, tree top houses, temples, jungle, rice fields, muddy mountains, and cavernous rivers. Well, it may have been the way the Laos light shined in her hair, but 2 weeks into the trip, they were dating and a week later...they were engaged. It's so sweet, they bought dollar jade rings at a market and exchanged them at a meat cutter's stall.
She says is amazing how God guided everything and how there's nothing really about him she has to settle on. Good love story, eh? ;)
