MYW Stay- New Jersey

New Jersey (Hosts: Will & Lorna & Luke)
Our hosts in NJ were lovely people. Will is a local pastor while his wife, Lorna, helps with activities centering around the church. They are both passionate about modeling their lives after Christ and are just the nicest people you could ever meet. Luke is a Cornell student who scored a summer internship with Bank of America. His office address is 50 Rockefeller Center. Our room was modest, but comfortable and adequate.
The best part about our time with Will & Lorna was breakfast. Luke prepared an amazing spread for us 2 out of our 3 mornings with them. Our fast was broken by oatmeal, cereal, bell pepper & onion omeletts, cantelope, apples, orange juice, and toast. It was a meal fit for royalty. We enjoyed our conversations with them over this meal immensely. At one point I told them that John and I had learned alot about hospitality from staying with them to which Will simply replied, "Hospitality is a long running theme in the Bible." It was a simple response to my compliment, but very appropriate and a great symbol of the spirit behind Mennonite Your Way.
