So I have never been the one to go around with missionaries. And the time I was suppose to we never found people to teach and just ended up walking around my neighbourhood. But all of that has changed. Grahamstown is the answer to all of my problems...
Finally- the missionaries asked me to go fellowshipping with them. The 'so-called-shy-me' looked around the room as the request was thrown at me. No, not me as I said to myself. Yes, the answer that fell from my lips as my mind was screaming NO, WAAAAYSSS YOU JUST DIDN'T. I guess these contrasting feelings felt that day led to the feelings of joy, peace, tranquillity and happiness, I feel now as I serve with the missionaries.
My time spent with the missionaries even though I enjoy more the jokes we pass in the car and the sarcastic remarks we pass at each other. I must say I learn a great deal from them. Patience is one of the principles I've come to learn. As investigators teach us to be patient with them. I also learn to rely on the Holy Spirit even more. When there comes a time I feel like I do not know what to say. It is always there to pick me up- and to say what I need to say at the right time. I've learnt to teach by the spirit. Most importantly, I'e come to learn how to love those I teach and meet. Its been difficult but its definitely worth it.
Fellowshipping has brought me great joy. It has thought me a whole load about myself, the people I meet and the Lord. It has moulded me into being a better person.
