Not much out there this afternoon.
Around We Go
- Here is an excerpt which I find interesting to hear from a recent graduate. It is humbling:
Mills is writing to his grandmother in this blog:
“I’m glad things are going well at home, It’s so funny being so far away.When the team left today we carried about 10 big bags of trash to a burn pile. About 50 kids from the village came and tried to open the bags. They wanted to desperately to have the trash inside. Even the bags themselves are valuable to them. We told them not to touch them and if anyone stole something that none of them would get anything until he was caught. Sure enough one boy grabbed something and ran. All these little boys dragged him back and we made him go home empty handed. The team stayed in a few big military tents, and we had the boys take them down and put them away, then we let them sift through the trash for tin containers and plastic bags. Things like that really are treasure for them because they are so useful and rare. Then we burned the rest. They were so thankful to have our trash, and they worked for it.
We are bricking a house here, that will eventually be a guest house. We usually have 10 boys who come and help move bricks just so that they can have a ride on the back of a car or in one. It’s humbling to think that people would work all day just do hop on the back of a truck.” - Dr. Phil Ryken commens on a recent USA today article entitled, WHAT WOULD LUTHER DO?
