They are a missionary family that we worked with when we lived in Kenya and they continue to work with Made In The Streets. They always seemed to pick up on the smallest of things that we might mention to make us more "comfortable" during our stay. I mentioned one time my favorite comfort food was grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. The next time I stayed with Hollye she served this for lunch. When we transitioned our move from the Coulston's house into a much smaller apartment, they asked about our settling in. We mentioned that we missed having a stereo at night that played different water sounds that would help drown out the night sounds and help us sleep. The next time they saw us they gave us their cd player and a nature sounds cd. I deeply desire this gift of hospitality and from the Conways, I learned that it takes asking the right questions, closely listening to the needs of others, and finding simple ways to fulfill them.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969188080285701225noreply@blogger.com
