Letter: PUC Grads Lend a Hand
Posted on 27. Oct, 2009 by Various in Editorial
Sometimes we think angels are just little girls, but that is wrong. Sometimes, angels are college students.
On the 13th of October, it had been raining most of the day. We were quite frightened because the rain was not stopping; rather, it was coming down with fury! We have been flooded before, and just had new floors and carpets put into the house. My husband is handicapped, and cannot lift, bend, or carry much of anything. I am also unable to do any of the above. But I knew we had to do something. So I prayed. I asked that the fire station in Angwin have sandbags, and somehow have someone kind enough to deliver these bags, and put them around the house. At the time I called the fire house, they had no sandbags, but were expecting some to be delivered, but there were no folks there who would be able to deliver them to our home!
At about 4:30pm, there was a knock on the door. My husband answered it, and to his great surprise, there stood a few college students with sandbags, asking where they should place them. It was Mr. Tyler Cantrell and Mr. Nate Garcia, both students who had graduated from PUC. I tell you, they had wings on their shoulders and halos above their heads! These kind young men did the job they came to do for us, not asking for anything in return. I want to thank these young men who took the precious time out of their busy day to help us.
Don’t ever let one think our young people are not loving, kind, and considerate. I owe them so much for their kindness, meekness, humility, and service. Thank you, Nate and Tyler.
Sincerely,
Raymond and Yvonne Koller
