"Whatever you do for the least of these you do for me"

Last Thursday was a day where it was raining hard here in La Mesa. I was planning to go to another town to go camping overnight with some people. We were supposed to meet at the church at 2:00 to leave. I arrived at the church early while some children from the church`s soup kitchen where still there. I realized that I had forgotten something so I found and umbrella and was about to head back home to retrieve it when a girl by the name of Daniela (from the soup kitchen) stopped me and asked me where I was going and when I told her she asked me to accompany her home. Thinking that her house was on my way home I said ok. Well as it turned out when we got to my house she told me that her house was farther down. It was still raining hard and she wanted me to go with her farther. I already knew I was late and I was more focused on being time consciencous that I did not really want to go with her. But the I remembered Jesus`s words that ``whatever you do for the least of these you do for me`` so I went with her. I finally got back to the church and hour late but the leaders of the group still had not arrived. They arrived shortly after I did. I had forgotten that Colombians are not nearly as time consciencous as Americans and 2:00 often means 2:30 or 3:00 so it all worked out
