Small good deeds add up. And when I made a simple request for "a few books" from home, I never imagined such a response. Already I have books from mom & dad, Jennie Sterkenburg, Sandy, Nancy, and the Aqualinas; now 11 more boxes are on the way from a group of elementary school kids in Michigan. (I guess I'll have to devise a method for getting said books from Maseru to my village, eh? good thing that I love both adventures and challenges...) Read the LSJ article below (scroll to the second article titled "Paying the Freight") for more. And you have to understand that I've never met the teacher who organized this book drive but that he's received my request third hand and responded loudly. Know that I'm so amazed and honored by the incredible people supporting me from so far away.
