When I first returned to the States after being a missionary kid - TopicsExpress



          

When I first returned to the States after being a missionary kid in Bangkok for seven years, I found myself slipping my shoes off at the door and rearranging my feet so they were under the chair whenever a professor walked into the room. I wore my Thai customs with a badge of pride. I was different than all the college students around me. I had seen beggars on the street, AIDS patients lying in hospital beds they would die in, and poor, running water-less hilltribe villages: I knew what suffering looked like. Or so I thought. washingtoninst.org/7939/spirit-of-the-poor-resisting-restlessness/
