Since our computer has been "out of order" I haven't been able to blog about the opportunities we have had at Grande View. In case you haven't read previous blogs, we are living in Nashville and serving as Resident Program Directors at the Grande View apartment complex in Bellevue. We are partnering with Faith Church in an effort to build relationships and eventually share the Gospel with the residents.
- A couple weeks after we moved in, we got a list of people that have signed or renewed leases. We put together a welcome/thank you packet and delivered those to the residents. Thanks to the youth at Faith Church this wasn't difficult. They were so sweet to help us go door-to-door!
- Nathan has done a great job going into the complex and meeting people. If you know him, then you know that he is an introvert - walking up to complete strangers and starting conversation doesn't come naturally for him. He has done a great job and has met quite a few residents that way.
- For Thanksgiving we decided to make yummy treats. It was intended to be for the residents that were traveling for the holiday weekend. A family from Faith Church was kind enough to make TONS of cookies!! It was a huge help. I made puppy chow (powered sugar and chex mix) and peanut butter/hershey kiss cookies. We made individual plates so the residents just had to pick up a plate.
- The office staff gave us FREE Titans tickets that we raffled off. A resident was lucky enough to go to the Titans/Redskins game in Nashville. Even though the Titans lost it was a good game.
We have some neat things coming up and I will update as those things happen. We are thankful for the opportunity that we have to advance the Kingdom. It takes a lot of work but it's worth it.
