Set? Mindset...

Last night we were reminded what a unique opportunity we have with this trip to Africa; we get to travel to a foreign country and live like the residents there.  Why is that unique?  If others were to do the same, they would most likely have to move and find a job there for a short period of time in order to take advantage of the true experience.  Others can go as tourists and pay to "see" the country while trying to eat and sleep as close to the comforts of home as possible.
Only in Jehovah's organization do we get to travel to a foreign country knowing that we will be greeted with open arms.  And we can truly "live their life", go to meeting with them, go in service with them, have recreation and site seeing time with them.  All in the company of brothers and sisters that we have never met, may not be able to communicate with, but love us just as much as our friends at home.  What a very special blessing we all have!
