I've been surfing local Craigslist ads for an acoustic guitar to take with me and leave in Peru on an upcoming mission trip.

Found a decent looking Epiphone starter model and made an offer. Told the boy that was selling it that I planned to leave it behind with someone from the church that we will be working with.

We agreed on a price and decided to meet up at the local Wal-Mart parking lot.

The boy selling the guitar shows up with his brother and the guitar. I can see the guitar hasn't been abused and it fits the bill to take on the trip. I'm ready to pay and the boy selling it says - "You can just have it - it needs to bless somebody."

His brother has been fumbling some cash (I'm thinking it must be the change they have in case I pay with a hundred). He says - "Here's 30$ to help buy some strings and a strap. I haven't been to church in a few weeks and I planned on giving this in the offering."

I promised to take some pix of the new recipient of the guitar when we are down there in Peru to send to the boys.

These guys could teach the world a lesson.....
