I’m a new graduate student, who has been in UVa for about 3 weeks. The reason why I write this email is to say THANKS to you for getting me Good Host Family.

August 15th, I arrived at Charlottesville airport, to my surprised, my host family were there waiting for me. You know that it was near midnight then. What’s more, both of my two host families were there (I’m lucky to get two hosts. :P ). Then I came to David Voss & Marina Voss’s home and lived there with them for about 3 days. I’d like to show my appreciation to them, I felt very well when I was there. They cooked delicious food for me, David even watched a movie with me. It is very kind of them to do all this for me.

Also, I should thank the other host of mine — Steve Braintwain, I found that he is very familiar with the things we international student need to do. He works with international student. He helped me to find an apartment and furnitures, helped me deal with other things. I can see that he is always ready to help international students.

So, I would like to thank you for giving me such two good host families. Thank you, thank David, Marina and Steve.

Best wishes,
Mao Qingfeng
