IHN, Friday, August 16, 2013

Mary and Bob got Sherry and her family up for school and day care.  Jim Mc picked up everyone for the van ride and the day is off to a good start. Jim is a first time driver, but Erik makes sure new drivers have all the info needed about the van, addresses and directions.

In an unusual situation Denise picked up Seleetha and Isaiah at their new home, after they spent their first night there,  and took Isaiah to day care, dropped the car seat back at their home, then took Seleetha to work.  She asked Seleetha if she had any tips for the volunteers and she could only say wonderful things about her experiences with IHN.

"In particular, she said that when she first joined IHN and was the only family, she got a little down and anxious. However, she said she put it all in God's hands and feels very positive about being back on her feet with a home for her and Isaiah."
Denise concluded with "It made for a wonderful start to the weekend!"  As is usually the case, we volunteers get more from the guests than we give. We are blessed to encounter them.

Erik was once again the afternoon van driver and it was his second day in a row of being the on-site/on-call coordinator.  THANKS Eric for lots of work this week!

Erik made the beds and welcomed the DeMaria family who brought  & served a delicious dinner of  lasagna, salad, bread and brownies! They stayed and ate with the guests.  The Thompson family were Evening Hosts, so the two guest children had lots of attention on Friday night!  Thanks to all of you for making a family event of IHN hosting.

Lynn and Happy, overnight stalwarts, spent the night.  They reported having fun watching a movie with Johnathan.  It was a quiet night.  And another rainy night in Georgia.

THANKS to all who made a good Friday for our guests!
