“I just wanted to take time to let you know what a wonderful time me and my family had being a host family. Matthew was a delight to have in our home last week. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be a host family and would do it again, in a heartbeat! Matthew was a gracious guest and fit into our family very well. This is an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We miss him already and talk about him often. Thanks again and we have thoroughly enjoyed being a host!”
