Dinner and Fellowship With Our NOMADS Mentors

We were contacted last week by a wonderful couple who have volunteered for many NOMADS projects.  They invited us to their home to tell us more about their experiences and to answer any questions that we may have about volunteering.  We spent a very enjoyable evening with them @ their lovely home.  

NOMADS is an organization which provides volunteer labor for United Methodist organizations.  Our first project will be in February in Eustic Florida.  We are looking forward to this opportunity and it was so wonderful to talk to them and hear first hand about their experiences. 

John & Maetta

Maetta had prepared a delicious dinner for us. During our time together they shared many of their experiences with NOMADS.  Most of their projects have been in Texas.  We had the impression John can fix just about anything.  He brings along to the job site a wide variety of tools that he packs in the storage space of their motorcoach. They told us we will gain many new skills and make lasting friendships. 

John and Maetta are not full timers but spend as much time as possible in their Dutch Star motor coach.  We discovered that we have almost  identical models. They certainly have an adventurous spirit and love to travel.  John and I also shared our favorite  "apps" for our new smart phones. Our spouses thought we were a little nuts!

We hope to work on a project with them in the future.  Thank you so much for the warm hospitality  John and Maetta are a shining example of living a life with a purpose
