another tender mercy sighting

Sunday, we were walking home after viewing conference at the Hyde Park Chapel and, as we walked through the semi-dark campus of Imperial College across the street from the Chapel, we noticed a young woman also walking away from Conference.  Since she was alone, Kaye struck up a conversation with her and we discovered that she is from Utah, is a college freshman, and is here to attend a semester of school.  She is the only member of the Church in her group and hasn't met people here yet.  We gave her our phone number and told her she could call us if she ever needed someone.  She seemed relieved.  We told her that David Gill, the Bishop of the YSA Ward, is from our home ward in Provo.  We asked her name and she said it was Kyra Mercer.  We said, "Oh, we know Fern Mercer.  She's in our home ward also."  She said, "That's my grandma!"  What a small world. She doesn't live far away and we dropped her off at her flat on our way home.  We feel like it is a tender mercy for her to have someone she has a connection to that she can call and it was a sweet experience for us. And, by the way, we saw David Gill the first Sunday we were here and we've now seen his family also.  Fun!
