It had been 10 years since Nathan had surprised me and now he has done it two months in a row. First he took me to my first Michigan football game and now this!
When I walked into our home after being gone for 6 days, my first words were “It smells like paint.” While we were on a trip to Minnesota, Nathan had gotten some single students to paint our dining room! After living in a mint ice cream room for a year and half, it was really nice to see a tan wall.
Apparently one night when we were playing a game I got up to go to the restroom; while I was gone Nathan implored these students to help him surprise me. They were delighted to be a part. I really appreciate their servant hearts. Now we have a warm atmosphere in which we can build relationships with many more students.
Nathan and Rachel Allen “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
