00:00:05 My name is Reeta. 00:00:07 My son is Jackson, and my daughter is Sherina. 00:00:11 It’s just the three of us. 00:00:14 I have been working on a tea estate as a tea picker. 00:00:17 One day, I prayed to God very hard. 00:00:21 I said, 00:00:22 “Please help me to learn about the Bible.” 00:00:26 Within two days, Jehovah’s Witnesses came 00:00:29 and knocked on my door, and I agreed to study the Bible. 00:00:32 I couldn’t believe it. 00:00:34 I only prayed yesterday, asking God to help me to study the Bible. 00:00:39 Our meetings begin at 4:45 p.m., 00:00:43 but we have to get ready by 12 o’clock 00:00:46 to attend the meetings. 00:00:47 So we prepare our bags on Wednesday night. 00:00:53 I carry two big bags on my shoulders 00:00:56 and walk for three and a half kilometers (2 mi) to get to the meetings on time. 00:01:02 We love seeing our brothers. 00:01:05 That’s why we always go to the meetings early. 00:01:13 I have been pioneering now for a year and six months. 00:01:22 There is no greater happiness than what comes from pioneering. 00:01:28 This is a onetime opportunity. 00:01:31 That is why we decided that we should give the best that we can to Jehovah. 00:01:39 Now I am so happy to be serving this way. 00:01:44 One time, I was not paid at all. 00:01:49 I didn’t even have a rupee. 00:01:56 On that day, my children and I ate well. 00:02:00 But after eating, we were very worried 00:02:04 about what we were going to do the following day. 00:02:07 So that night, I said a prayer with the kids 00:02:12 and we read the Bible. 00:02:17 Jesus said, 00:02:19 ‘Don’t worry about tomorrow.’ 00:02:21 So I trusted that somehow 00:02:24 Jehovah would give us what we needed. 00:02:27 It was 10:30 at night. 00:02:30 I was fast asleep, and the phone rang. 00:02:34 Usually no one calls this late, 00:02:37 so I wondered, ‘Who could be calling me this late?’ 00:02:43 I picked up the phone, and it was a brother on the line. 00:02:48 He said, “Sister, go to your bookshelf 00:02:52 and take the Greatest Man book.” 00:02:58 Then he asked me to turn to a page. 00:03:02 When I turned to that page, 00:03:03 there were 10,000 rupees (about $55, U.S.) between those pages. 00:03:07 We could not believe our eyes. 00:03:09 It was exactly what we needed for that month’s expenses. 00:03:13 A few days earlier, he and his wife had visited us 00:03:16 and secretly left the money in the book before leaving. 00:03:19 So I thanked Jehovah in prayer with the kids. 00:03:22 Jehovah already knew exactly what we needed 00:03:26 even before we realized it. 00:03:37 Honestly, every night I open the doors, 00:03:41 go outside, and look up at the night sky. 00:03:45 When I look up, I see many stars. 00:03:48 I daily meditate about his wisdom, 00:03:51 his power, what amazing things he is able to do. 00:03:58 This earth, this universe 00:04:01 —how amazingly well he cares for them! 00:04:05 He takes care of the smallest thing. 00:04:08 I completely rely on Jehovah, 00:04:13 and then I remember that Jehovah has the ability 00:04:18 to help us with his holy spirit. 00:04:21 He’s such a loving Father. 00:04:24 He’s always holding our hand tight, 00:04:29 and no one can separate us from him. 00:04:32 If anyone tries, they will fail. 00:04:39 He’s so generous with his love. 00:04:42 He’s so affectionate with us. 00:04:45 No one can take away the love Jehovah has for us.
