I was in the middle of my prayer time when I received a message from a Facebook friend. It was crazy last-minute, but she wondered if we would consider hosting the 16-year-old son of a friend of hers from Spain for three weeks.

Great advice from a host dad on how to deal with the end-of-program blues:

"I have had 13 foreign sons and the 14th coming in August, with one I hosted in 2008 visiting in August for the 3rd time. Taking them to the airport at the end of the school year is the worst day of my year and never gets easier because I am afraid I will never see them again. But the 10 months as a family far outweighs the one day saying goodbye. Facebook is a miracle to me as it allows me to remain in contact with my sons!!!!" http://ow.ly/XFjd301cPSy
