LARRY KLEINHARDT
When we first got to Nai Soi, my first thought was WOW…people really live this way. From raised Bamboo huts to sponge baths with cold water--and mind ya, I am talking COLD water, no hot water.
When we first stepped out of our truck to meet these people, I was somewhat scared, but about as scared as they were of us. By the time it was time to leave and go home, there were tears of sadness. We made many good friends with these kids that they didn’t want me to leave, and I really didn’t want to leave them either.
I even had our police that protected us cry with me when it was time to go. He even handcuffed me to a chair so I couldn’t leave.
Thanks my Lord for a life changing experience.
I wanted to add to Larry’s experience that he was a major hit with the students and to our policeman. They called him CRAZY and they were magically drawn to Larry. Larry had a huge heart for them, always had a smile for them and was a very good listener. ~BL
