Macedonia: The Focal Point of
Christian missionaries. This week we were grabbing some lunch in Skopje
City Mall. We were going up in the elevator, and the door was about to shut,
when we saw a woman start rushing to try to make it in. We opened the door for
her, she got in, and door closed, and we started going up. The situation felt awkward,
so we started talking to her since it couldn't get any less. She started
speaking English pretty quick, and she said that she was a Jehovah Witness from
Germany, fulfilling her mission here! She asked us how it was going for us, and
then she told us how it was for her. It turns out she is serving for her whole
life with her husband, going from place to place. It kinda made me realize how
little I'm really giving up, with it only being the short span of 2
years.
We had our zone training this week, and one of the topics
was the divine potential of people. We are all children of God, so we should be
treated and treat others as such. One of my greatest regrets is not doing more
to uplift people before my mission. Often times, there's somebody close to us
struggling with something, and almost just as often, there's something we can
do about it. So think about what kind of effect you are having on other people,
and if there is the one person right now who needs your help.
Time has definitely been picking up the last few months. The
transfer is over in a few weeks, and it feels like it has only begun.
Ве сакам. Продолжете да бидете одлични. Знам дека оваа
работа е Божја работа, и дека преку Исус Христос, сите нас можеме да бидеме
совршени. Не знам што друго да напишам. Живот е добро. Бидете примери за
светот. Со најмногу на мојата љубов,
Старешина Ригби
I
love you. Continue to be excellent. I know this work is God's work, and that
through Jesus Christ, all of us can be perfect. I do not know what else to
write. Life is good. Be examples to the world. With most of my love, [by Google
