By: Becki Enck Being a part of the Matthias community.... Just when you need to feel a little sense of familiarity - people who you have not yet met in person but have connected via Facebook (thank you Mary Paschen) show up in your life. Our 21 year old daughter, Abby, is doing the disney college internship program and is working as a greeter at Typhoon Lagoon. She loves it and has been there since April 22nd.
A family whose son will soon be a Matthias student saw about Abby's internship on my Facebook page and told me they were heading to Disney and her son loves Typhoon Lagoon. They drove and on the day they arrived her son right away wanted to go to Typhoon Lagoon and all of a sudden Amy sent me this photo of Abby with her son Joshua.
When Abby got off work that day she sent me this text "Mom I met Joshua and his family today and I felt like I already knew them and meeting Joshua helped because I have been missing Cam so much!" (Cam is 19 months younger than Abby and is in Eta Pi and they have always been besties).
Isn't it amazing how being part of the Matthias community happens and how important it also is for the Matthias siblings? Abby and Joshua have seen each other multiple times during their trip!
If you are heading to Disney this summer and plan to go to Typhoon Lagoon - let me know and I can tell you when Abby is working so she can meet you and your family (she is there until Aug 10th). Each day Joshua looks for Abby. So I have let his mom know Abby's schedule and he has seen her the days she is working. She was off the last 2 days but they will be at Typhoon today and Abby texted me this morning that she is excited to see Joshua and his family today.
Joshua's mom asked me what Abby is studying in college and and I told her she is entering her senior year to become a high school special education teacher and she said she was thinking she was pursuing a career working with our extraordinary adults.
We feel so incredibly grateful to have found Matthias not only for Cam but for myself, my husband and our daughter too!
Have a great day everyone.
