I’m not convinced its worth having had the experience, but I sure enjoyed the power of you re-telling it. Its a lesson learned I deeply wish came at a cheaper price. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to stop it, that’s for sure. Stupid vacation.
Puna, your grace and soft heart are priceless.

Puna,
First I am so terribly sorry this happened to you on my watch, If I could take it away I would, again I am so, so sorry. I also see how our Amazing God has taken such a horrific event and turned into good, not only in your life but those around you both from your church and those on the street. It was a privilege to meet you and serve with you. You showed so much courage Saturday I will never forget, and I hope if something like this happens to me that I two can say I need to stay and fulfill the mission. You have encouraged me and I know you will encourage others. May the God of the Universe Bless you and richly bless you always. And I look forward to serving side by side with you again next month or anytime. Again we serve a Mighty God!

Puna, I think you handled the situation quite well given what happened. I’ll never forget the terrified look on your face when you were walking back though. I’m just glad you are ok!

Puna, the whole event seems to be surreal now. The moment I looked at you from a distance, I knew your spirit was shaken. When I saw you directly walk toward me and bury your face in my chest and how you were holding on to me, I knew that my Puna Girl was hurting and afraid. As a sister in Christ with you, I would have done ANYTHING

Puna, your honest retelling of this experience is incredibly moving. Thank you so much for sharing both your joys and your moments of humility. You saved me a whack in the head by a homeless man to remind me to stay off my “high horse”.
