Last week was not an unusual one for me (Alex). I am pretty much in charge of all the construction we are doing here in Peru. I'm not sure how I got the task, but I like it. Hope House (our girls' orphanage) had a new water pump installed to help pump water from the bottom of the property up to the garden, where they grow their own vegetables. Now the girls do not have to carry it by bucket, which was a pretty hefty task if you saw the bottom of the hill where the water was coming from.
So one day, I was just going around checking on things to make sure everything was working like it was supposed to. I was on my way back from Hope House to the land where we are building the Sports/Medical Clinic & Church, when I saw two Jehovah's witnesses talking to Janett. Janett works for us on the land; she brings tools to all of the workers as they need them and makes sure that each person signs in and out when they get to work each day. I do not know what was said to her, but I know that it got her thinking about the Lord.
The next day I arrived at the land pretty early, and Percy (our contractor) was there with his Bible showing her the Word and teaching her that whatever they were saying was not true to what the Bible says. It was a pretty cool thing. All the guys that work on the land belong to one of our Sector churches, which is how Percy knows them. However, he met Janett through another friend, and she does not go to one of the churches. It was just awesome to see that even in the middle of all the construction going on, he took time out to show her the Word of God. I hope this little story blesses someone.
