The nice neighbor

I (Todd) have successfully refrained from titling this post many other ways, and am leaving it to your own imaginations (or not, if you are more sanctified than I. Let me just say that I wish I were as creative with other things as I am with potty humor).

Kim led another World Changers Kids Camp today, and our new friend Shirley hosted it at her house this time. Here is a follow up email we received from her earlier this evening. 😉

I thought you’d like to hear this funny story that happened today 🙂 My girls were helping to get ready for the WC kid’s camp, and Alyssa (my 5yr old) usually cheerfully volunteers to go out around the back yard picking up our dog’s poo and puts it into a plastic bag to be thrown out.

So today, just as everyone was about to arrive (Stacy had just about pulled up to my house) 🙂 I found out that Alyssa had been “twirling” the bag around and accidentally hurled it over our neighbor’s wall–AHHHH!

I hurried over and left an apology–and said I’d bring her over to pick it up later when they got home. When I took her to go apologize, the neighbor was very nice and he asked what the big group of people was here for. So…I got to tell him about Hope being adopted from China, etc. and he pulled out a wad of money and said to donate it to the fund–and to be sure and tell them how God works these things out in the funniest ways!

By the way, through donations, Hope Blankie and Little Mei Dress sales, and the very nice neighbor donation, another $339 was added to our adoption fund! 🙂
