Exchange Students Visit

For the past three years Mark and I have hosted foreign exchange students from the University of Iowa as part of the Pella Farm Tour. This year we spent part of our weekend with two wonderful girls from Germany. Maria (in dark shirt) and Janna (in white shirt). They were great fun and the kids loved to show them their toys, rooms and books. As host families we go to a potluck supper at Pella Christian on Saturday night to have dinner with the tour group (about 20 students and 10 host families). Then we take our students home for the night and they go to church with us on Sunday morning and eat lunch with our family before meeting up with the group to head back to school. This is a fun way to meet great people from around the world! I highly encourage anyone in the Pella/Oskaloosa area with a little extra space to host a student next fall!
