But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" (Luke 10:29)

The construction team grew by two (unofficial) members on Thursday.

A pair of German tourists and all their fellow passengers got put off their bus Wednesday afternoon when the driver decided to honor the general strike that has shut down the area this week. The Germans, Ilke (I think) and Nadine (I'm sure), made their way to the hotel where we are staying.

They don't speak Spanish but know a little English, so the desk clerk called Kym McDaniel, Christ Church Plano's missionary to the Anglican Diocese of Peru, to come down and translate.

One thing led to another, and Ilke and Nadine spent today working with us at the mission, breaking bread with us at lunch and dinner, and signing their names to the memory wall that will recall the time people of three nations — Texas, Germany and Peru — worked together for one afternoon to glorify God.
