I was working in my office a while ago when one of my staff came in to let me know there was a guy outside who'd offered to fix our wagon.
...Um... what?
So I went outside to find Wally (the first guy in this small town I've met not named Willy). Wally let me know he'd been driving by (his wife was in the car), on the way to a garage sale, and he's noticed our wagon was broken and would he like us to fix it?
...Um... what wagon? What are you talking about?
There is a small green wagon that was laying on the side of the field. I think my dad used it for a while, to drag wood and other random things, but then it broke and we were going to throw it away. I forgot it was there.
But I still didn't quite get it. Why did he want to fix it? What was he talking about? I live in the city, people don't just stop by to help. But as we chatted, he let me know he was of the same religion our camp is, and he's retired, and he has a welder, so he could fix it. He likes to help people. Hmmmmm.... Um, okay.
So Wally took the wagon apart and plans to fix it and bring it back. I'm still slightly perplexed over what just happened, but he and his wife couldn't have been nicer, and maybe our wagon will be fixed. And they were driving a convertible, so maybe they will decide to give us some money someday. Or maybe this will help me learn what it means to love thy neighbor and help others and be kind and stuff...
