Linguistics conference and out-of-town guest

Jacob and Josh

On Thursday and Friday, my department hosted its annual Student Conference in Linguistics & TESOL. The photo above shows me with Jacob, a conference presenter who traveled from Mexico. If you look closely, you’ll perhaps notice that this photo was not taken at school but in our apartment. Jacob’s cash-to-expenses ratio wasn’t looking so good on Friday, so to help that situation from getting worse, Amy and I invited him to stay at our apartment last night. Jacob, Josh, AmyOf all our very appreciative guests (many of whom read our blog — so let me emphasize that all of our previous guests have been very very appreciative), Jacob was probably the most overflowing in his gratitude.

We enjoyed our time talking with him, and we have an open invitation to stay with him and his wife in Hermosillo, Mexico, next time we’re down that way.

  1. You all are a blessing. Willing servants ready at a moment’s notice to be a blessing to someone. Thank you for your example.

  2. You guys are a great example of biblical hospitality! What a blessing to hear of your various opportunities to minister to others and how you “jump” on those opportunities when God brings them along!
