Persistance

I've had a return visit on a Hindu woman for a few years. She's nice and we had very good conversations. I started a study with her in the Require Bro. and so of course she got a full time job. Then she quit but I still only saw her sporadically. Sometimes we did the brochure, sometimes I just left magazines and a scripture or would answer some of her questions. It was a 'catch me when you can' situation. I was getting frustrated because I know there is something there w/ her but I just caught her so infrequently. Finally a couple of weeks ago we did a lesson in the brochure and I decided to just go for it and give her a Knowledge Book and ask her if she wanted a formal study since she had so many questions. She agreed. She also told me that her friends kept saying "oh why do you talk to them? They will try to convert you. You have your own religion" and she told them "If i'm so strong in my religion then they won't be able to change me. But maybe they have something better to say so then why shouldn't I listen?" wow, i was pretty impressed. so we set up a firm time and day for last week. I went last monday w/ high hopes and she wasn't there. I felt like 'here we go again.' I went again this past monday not just to give it one more try but not expecting anything. To my surprise she was there waiting. She said she had forgotten last week b/c she wasn't used to me coming at that time but she remembered this week. We had an awesome 2hr study and did the whole first chapter. I know she still has a long way to go and she is going to face a lot of challenges b/c of the cultural and religious differences, but I have a lot of hope for her. You know, you try so hard to reach some people that you KNOW want the truth, and they seem just beyond your reach. Then when you finally get a hold on them, it's like I almost want to cry in relief. Makes me remember why I spend so much time out there.
