This week I had the privilege to meet this kind soul. John came across the pond and started his cycling journey in Washington. He is traveling across America with his destination being Washington D.C. He told me of his experience in Interior witnessing baptisms and the kindness of people here. I think God puts people on our road map for a reason and I really enjoyed his company and conversation at Helen’s. He kept me company while I cleaned for upcoming guests while enjoying the peace and tranquility that the day offered. I pray for his safe travels and hope he continues to experience the goodness and kindness of people on his path. It was a pleasure and a joy to meet you John.
