Is there someone else?

We have a pizza shop that our team is keeping in business. It is close to our house and it is super cheap! We can get a large pizza and a can of Pepsi for 5 Euros. Kari and Ira and our family go in there pretty often so we have started to get to know the owners of the store. One night, Josh and I and the kids went in there to get a pizza to go. It was getting late, so after we ordered, the kids and I went home, while Josh waited for the pizza. After I left, the man making the pizza asked Josh if I was his wife. He asked it in German first and then in English to make sure that Josh understood what he meant. He assured him that I was his wife. He acted very confused and then finally asked, "Well who is that other girl you are always with?"
Josh thought about it for awhile and said that I was the only one he ever came with. The man said the other girl is shorter with dark hair. After awhile, he figured out that he was getting Ira and him confused! They look a lot alike to someone who doesn't know them very well, so the pizza guy got them mixed up. Josh then explained the mix up and there were no more questions asked!

I can totally relate to the pizza man getting Josh and Ira mixed up. I know when they are together they don't really look that much alike, but I have mixed them up for several years. Glad you got that little mistake cleared up....wouldn't want him to get the wrong impression of American missionaries. :) We are keeping you and the Vienna Team in our prayers. ...
