Nathan and Rachel Allen Missionaries to the Tribes - right here in Jackson, MI! 
new warm color
It had been 10 years since Nathan had surprised me and now he has done it two months in a row. First he took me to my first Michigan football game and now this!
mint green wall
When I walked into our home after being gone for 6 days, my first words were “It smells like paint.” While we were on a trip to Minnesota, Nathan had gotten some single students to paint our dining room! After living in a mint ice cream room for a year and half, it was really nice to see a tan wall.

Apparently one night when we were playing a game I got up to go to the restroom; while I was gone Nathan implored these students to help him surprise me. They were delighted to be a part. I really appreciate their servant hearts. Now we have a warm atmosphere in which we can build relationships with many more students.
