We get ALL kinds of phone calls at the office! If anyone has the gift of hospitality and discernment maybe you are interested! Below is the e-mail I received from Eve who is looking for a couple of nights (14th & 15th)  accommodations while her son graduates from boot camp next week. I did speak with her and she sounded very nice HOWEVER I do not know this lady, I told her I would “throw it out there” and see what might turn up. FYI: I did not include the resume. I do have her number should you be interested.

Good afternoon Claudia,

I looked you up on the church website after we talked—I hope that is ok. Here is my resume…just a quick condensed mini version of me (as I mentioned, I am job searching right now).

I know God is with us through all of our adventures…so we’ll see how this adventure turns out.

Thank you for listening and being open to this request.  If you need any more info, character references etc-please let me know! I have reservations at the Detreville house now but it’s $85 a night that I really just don’t have right now.  I would need to cancel the reservations by Monday sometime… if someone might host me.

 My kids, even my Marine son, James—were all involved in AWANA, Scouts and service opportunities through our church-Immanuel Bible Church.  James went on two mission trips to Guatemala and one to inner city DC with the youth group. He is a great kid who I was proud of BEFORE he went to boot camp to become a Marine.

 Again, I will be out at family activities Wed and Thurs and have to be on base early Friday am and will leave to drive back to VA directly from graduation so I really just need a safe place to sleep and shower if there might be some kind person to open their home to me.

 Walking  In His Steps, Eve
