00:00:03 I arrived in a new city during the rainy season. 00:00:06 It rained all day every day for a whole month. 00:00:09 At that time, there were only three publishers there. 00:00:12 The first sister I met was my new pioneer partner. 00:00:15 At first, I felt as if the people in this territory 00:00:19 spoke a different language. 00:00:21 When I tried to talk to some people about the Bible, they did not like it 00:00:25 and some were even afraid of these new ideas. 00:00:29 When government officials 00:00:31 noticed that we had shared some tracts with the people, 00:00:34 they began to watch us and followed us for about three months. 00:00:38 I felt overwhelmed by all of this and became very anxious. 00:00:43 I had few return visits or opportunities to speak about Jehovah. 00:00:47 I felt lost. 00:00:49 I didn’t know what to do or where to go. 00:00:51 I often wondered, ‘Father, why did you send me here?’ 00:00:56 It was like I had gone from being on a mountain peak 00:00:59 to the bottom of a deep valley. 00:01:05 I studied the Bible 00:01:07 to see how Jehovah cared for his servants in the past. 00:01:09 For example, 00:01:11 I read how Jehovah told Jacob throughout his life: 00:01:14 ‘I will be with you wherever you go.’ 00:01:17 I pictured Jehovah telling me the same thing: 00:01:21 ‘Don’t worry. 00:01:22 Just go, and I will always be there to help you.’ 00:01:25 I begged him to help me 00:01:27 to be balanced, to feel peace, and to have courage 00:01:31 to go out in the ministry. 00:01:34 One day, Jehovah helped me to find a very good Bible student. 00:01:38 It was an absolutely wonderful and unexpected gift from Jehovah. 00:01:42 Our small group joins congregation meetings through the Internet. 00:01:45 This arrangement is a valuable source of spiritual food for me. 00:01:50 We get together for meals and association as well. 00:01:53 The experiences on JW Broadcasting® 00:01:57 make me feel that I am not alone. 00:01:59 And I always smile and wave goodbye at the end. 00:02:02 It’s wonderful to be here.
