Jonathan and Lars

We met Jonathan and Lars outside Barnes and Noble where Jonathan was attempting to repair his bike. We learned that they were on a pilgrimage, on their bikes, from Virgiania to Paraguay for the Mennonite World Conference in July 2009. I offered to help them out and after realizing that I didn't have the tools to help them, loaded up their bikes and trailer and took them to our local bike shop.

We ended up being late for Kees' baseball try-outs but we were glad that we had stopped and helped them... they were good kids and were far, far from home (and their destination, for that matter)!
