Like I've said before, I get giddy whenever I talk to missionaries...and yesterday was another giddy-sunday for me.
Ate Ambs and I attended the New Member's Fellowship with Pastor Brent and Sis. Kim. We came in late because we had a signup booth for YA ministry at the lobby and we invited (more like kidnapped) those hard to find (and hard to invite) YA members of the church.
Since we were late, we sat with the 'white men'...or the foreigners in the church. I only knew Bro. Keith and his wife since we worked together during Kuya Bry's wedding. He introduced us to the two other ladies sitting with us.
They were Sis. Jacelyn and Sis. Cindy...the two missionaries from hongkong. Amazing.
Why amazing?
Actually, Ptr. Brent had been announcing them and their work in hongkong. They're here to collect contacts in Hongkong. And ever since I've heard Pastor Brent's announcement, I wanted to approach them and have a chitchat...I don't know anyone in hongkong, but I want to talk to them and ask them about missions.
But of course, my shyness (yeah right!) kept me from approaching them...
So I was REALLY surprised when I met them yesterday. They were really pleasant and nice. They started asking questions to us. (since, we were new members..) We shared how we were invited to Faith by friends and how we're enjoying the fellowship and the church in general.
Then, it was my time to ask questions...
I asked them about hongkong and how they will start the work there. I was all ears to every word they were saying.
It's like, listening to a friend who's re-telling a really good love story.
After their stories, I told them I also want to be a missionary, in Mongolia.
I saw their eyes widened...like seeing someone for the first time, or learning that the person infront of them was a royalty..haha.
They were really happy about it. They told me to share it to Ptr. Brent so he can pray with me. (And that made my heart leap and my stomach turn into knot...in excitement and nervousness.)
I believe that God orchestrates things and events in my life. And yesterday was not an exemption. I met Sis. jacelyna nd Sis. Cindy for areason. I may not know it now, but in time God will make me understand why I sat on that table with those two pleasant ladies.=)
