RGBI Picnic (Part 1)

Today, the Winter Volunteers hosted a get-to-know-you picnic for all the language school students and families. The family atmosphere here on campus is truly amazing and an added blessing to our time here studying. The Volunteers have an interest in our lives and desire to pray for us while we are here. Many have special skills that they put to use to serve the missionary families on campus (i.e. sewing, handy-man jobs, babysitting, teaching kids club on Monday nights for children K - 6th grade, cabinetry, car repair, and much more.


Much of the conversations around the tables went something like this:

"Hi, my name is _______"
"Are you a new student here?"
"What is your role here at RGBI?"
"Where are you from?"
"What country are you going to?"
"What are your children's ages and names?"
"How long have you been working at RGBI?"


Kettle Corn for everyone!


The Winter Volunteers provided the food, drinks, & deserts for the picnic.

Jordan preferred the sun, since he was wearing mom's shades.
