Every Saturday we invite people to come and share a meal with us at our home. It is an event that I look forward to every week. There is something special about inviting a neighbor over to eat a meal. This last week my team and I were invited to Charles's home. A man in our neighborhood who we have become good friends with. The hospitality they showed us was such a blessing.
As we arrived we were greeted by many of the grandchildren who live in the house. They beckoned us to play the Wii and before I knew it I was dancing along with Michael Jackson (yes, I do have some sweet dance moves). Once our entertainment ended we were invited to the table where a great feast awaited us. Oh my, we had all different types of wings, enchiladas, salad, the most amazing sweet tea, and potato salad. (I didn't like potato salad until I came to the South -- the same with Sweet Potatoes). We ate in style and had a wonderful time of fellowship.
Once dinner was over Charles pulled out his photo albums. I got to see pictures of him in the 80's with his family reunion t-shirt and knee-high socks with the classic blue and red strips. I loved looking through his photos and hearing stories about his past and family. I am so thankful for their generous hospitality. Charles is very dear to my heart.

Valentine Tea Party!
This month Margaret Ann and Miss. Dean hosted a Valentine Tea Party for the S.A.Y YES! girls. Oh, what fun we had! The girls made Valentine cards and we all enjoyed a meal full of grapes, sandwiches, delicious blueberry scones, and an assortment of drinks, which included lemonade, hot apple cider, and tea. We are so grateful for Margaret-Ann and Miss Dean’s wonderful hospitality!

Love is in the Air!
Hi friends!
I'm excited to be part of what God is doing through Mission Year this year. The poor are being cared for, relationships are being developed, and the Kingdom of God is being built! But Mission Year cannot continue to spread the love in some of the most under-resourced neighborhoods in our country without your help.
I need your support to continue strong in my ministry here! We are doing a Love Drive for Mission Year during the week before Valentine's Day. Please show me some love and consider making a special contribution toward my Mission Year.
