Maintaining Contact - Brandon and Savannah Justice

Maintaining contact is probably one of the most important aspects of our ministry! Meeting new servicemen and women can be difficult. Building relationships with them after our initial contact takes time and effort. Not to mention personal "chemistry" between them and us.

Yvonne and I tell all the servicemen and women that come into our home that they are "guests" only once. If they come back we adopt them and consider them part of our family!

So, like in any good family relationships, when the "kids" move away because of their careers or college, or any other reason, staying in touch is really important. It's the same thing in our ministry. So whenever we can, we visit our adopted sons and daughters (and grandchildren) where they live.

When Yvonne and I went to Odenton, MD to attend the Warrior Connection Fellowship we had a perfect opportunity to visit Brandon and Savannah and Malachai and Sarabeth at their new home in Pax River.

Their new housing unit was so bright and spacious it looked like they had moved from a closet into a mansion! They have a playground right in front of their unit too!

Savannah fixed dinner for us. And boy howdy was it GOOOOOD! She made home made bread, chicken, and asparagus. She said it was the first time she had tried making home made bread on her own. While they were with us Yvonne had a bread baking class with Savannah and Nicole Peltier. The whole meal was yummy!

I wanted to take some pictures so we went to the playground, thinking that would be the best place to get pictures of the kids. It was!
