When students feel homesick, there is noth­

ing like Mom or Dad to cheer them up.

Serving in the roll of dorm parents, Travis

and Emily Mitten try to fill the

unfillable shoes of the parents.

When times Mrs. Mitten said she can relate

very well with the homesick stu­

get tough, dent. Her first few days as a

it’s nice to student she cried on many

shoulders. "This was a ministry

reach out I dreamed of, prayed for, and

now hold dear to my heart. It

to someone is weird to play mom, but it’s a

familiar good experience and training,"

Mrs. Mitten said. As well as

for help. helping his wife, Mr. Mitten

pastored a church in the com­

munity. A vital part of his

ministry on campus was a weekly Bible

study that he held for the men.

Even though Mrs.

Emily Mitten works

full-time as an ad­

missions counselor

during the day, she

and her husband al­

ways had warm

smiles which the

Lord used to soften

the hearts of many

students. Their out­

reach served as a

testimony to those

who felt far away

from loved ones.
