Finally made it Texas. We were put up in a very nice host home with a lady named Kristy that used to live in Mishawaka. She insisted that when we come back we use her house, even though she would not be here. Her daughter let us sleep in her bed, and her little boy was delightful.
We met one of our drivers, Jaime. He used to work for immigration, but quit that to attend the school of the ministry at Tree of life and to work for the church.
Just from these two people we met I continue to be struck by the quiet dignity of people I meet in the world. Both of them have alot of other things going on in their worlds and either putting up a couple of strangers when you have alot of other things going on in your life, or changing your life's direction to emphasize service to God and people over money and status, they both are in their own way quiet heroes to make the world a better place.
