The Master of Making Do!

Karla opened Chad's bedroom door the other day to find out what all the racket was. This is what she found! He had brought boxes, suitcases, metal folding chairs and his practice pad to his room and created his own drum set! His bass drum is the floor (second story!)— so you can imagine the shaking going on downstairs.

When he started playing in church, we had to take his old set to the church. Everytime he tries to practice at the church, the next door "Chinese Tea" lady comes over and tells him to quit. So he made do. He is taking lessons and is really getting into it now. We are planning to get a set at the church and he can have his back at home. Pretty ingenious, we thought.

Too cool!!! Watch out, with imagination like that you might end up having a 3rd world missionary on your hands. :) You definitely learn how to improvise in such countries.
