(Laura presenting the gifts and giving rules about how to use sports shoes, i.e. use them only for sports and they are not to be worn hiking home for a day and a half.)People can be so clever, and God can have such a sense of humor when supplies get donated around here. A group of Koreans once donated some choos (pronounced cho-z and referring to outhouses) and some other people donated semi-delicate musical instruments to the children of a culture where the words, "Be gentle" and "Careful!" don't even exist. However, we're truly grateful for every gift we receive, it's just that some are more... useful...
However, with a fabulous combination of cleverness, humor, utility, and generosity, one of Laura Propst's friends from the States donated sports shoes to EVERY students (63 of them) at T.S.S. this past month.
(SUPER-DUPER excited Joseph!)It was like Christmas at Grandma's house with all that tissue paper and smiles floating around! Everyone was so excited to get such a fabulous gift and enjoy what this all meant for their sports practices. No more stubbed toes or blisters. Sure, everyone is a little unsure of how to pass the ball with these heavy things clanking around their toes, but overall, everyone agrees that we're pretty smart looking!
