Past Experiences
Jean-Baptiste Jacquard (Vaux-En-Velin, France) is welcomed at Sky Harbor by Magen, Bobby, Andrew, and Emily Hudson

We had an amazing time with Jean-Baptiste and loved our experience with him. We still keep in touch. They have invited us to visit them in France and hope to someday take them up on the invitation.

We had a great time showing him our life here in Arizona. He shared with us what life in France is like and even cooked for us. He is an amazing young man and fit in so well with our family. It was fun introducing him to the food that we eat, the games that we play and even the music we listen to and the movies we watch. He was a very good sport and was eager to try everything. Some things he didn't like and he was very polite in letting us know. The things he loved we made sure we did often.

Manon adapted beautifully, as if she were already
a family member and not a foreign guest. She did
not even experience any jet-lag!! She had a
wonderful sense of humor, was easy-going, willing
to participate in all activities, and impeccably polite and well-mannered. An absolutely delightful
addition to our family!
