Amish Spirit

This is the sort of community spirit and selflessness which I didn't think existed anymore. What a great story.

The Grabers escaped unharmed from the tornado that plowed through Webster County.

Not so their home. It was torn apart by the twister's fury.

But in less than 15 hours, the Grabers were back in a new home rebuilt on the same spot — a peaceful valley south of Missouri 38 about 10 miles east of Marshfield — by more than 100 men and boys from neighboring Amish homesteads near the Grabers.

It took them 15 hours to rebuild this man's home.

It is a remarkable testimony to the Amish spirit and credo that neighbors help neighbors in times of need.

That's something of an understatement.
