Our Saudi housemate

Erin and I have had an extra room in our home. Recently we matched up with a university home-stay program to host a college student. Hattan Alolayan arrived Thursday night from Saudi Arabia and we've had a great time getting to know him! Within 24 hours of arriving he was up for our annual Easter vigil at St. Tim's church with Anya's parents. He's been really cheerful and flexible and was up for an egg hunt and several hours of liturgy.


Anya's family lets the younger kids (those under 30 who are single) fill up sacks with candy and plastic eggs. It was a beautiful day to be outside with friends and family.
