I'm glad you have found something that makes you happy. I hope it works out for good. Let's us know what you think of the African culture. I haven't seen anything that came from Africa that is good except for the people. They have to put up with all those diseases, and they are now making their way over here in the US. Things like aids, ebola, nile disease, etc. You will probably be in a somewhat protected environment, at least from the machetes I hope.

Doesn't James 1:27 say: "The form of worship that is CLEAN and UNDEFILED from the standpoint of God is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world." Funny it doesn't mention one word about how knocking on peoples doors Saturday morning, trying to convert them is considered either "clean" or "undefiled" by God, eh?
Vee, you're doing a wonderful work; something far more important than try to place the latest copies of the W&A. This is probably (secretly) making your family feel ill-at-ease though. Because every Witness knows full well that true Christians should be doing charity work and they don't. The very fact that you've left the Borg and haven't "returned to [your] vomit" pisses off most Witnesses, because they automatically assume that everyone who leaves will go right down the sewer.
I wish you all the best in your endeavor and I'm sure you'll find helping people far more rewarding that preaching doom and gloom at them.
Vee,
I am excited and happy for you. Congrats!
Love,
Robyn
