My family had tickets to General Conference and there just happened to be a mission reunion the same weekend at my first mission president's house. I went with some of my former companions, excited to speak French again and see people I missed.
I walked in the door and was immediately greeted with a hug from a random guy I'd never met before. After I finally got away I saw one of my first companions and told her that some guy had just touched me and that was the first time someone who wasn't family had since I'd been home. She chuckled at me and said "that's my boyfriend." Hmmm, no wonder he knew my name.
The rest of the evening was filled with many more awkward encounters. I was one of two in attendance who had just come home 3 weeks previous. Needless to say I was a little shell shocked.
At one point I was looking for a trash can and came upon a past zone leader he gave me a hug and gave me the most interesting introduction to his girlfriend (now fiancee!!!!) and then I just asked where the trash was and scurried off.
