Giving a Bible

I had the chance to meet with a friend last week. It was a follow up visit from a few weeks past. This family is Pulaar, and although they speak Wolof, their heart language is Pulaar, a very different African language. I was given a Pulaar New Testament to give to this family, so I went to present this gift to them. Immediately after arriving and greeting the family, they asked about my gift. So I explained that it was a New Testament, and was written stories about Jesus-who he is and how he loves people. And so she began to read, and smile, and read and smile even more. She was laughing as she read, never once stopping although her family was not as thrilled as she was. I promised her that I would return in a week to talk about what she had read. And I will plan to go to share creation to the cross stories as well. I hope that I am able to find her again to talk. It would be great for this woman to tell her neighborhood about the exciting stories of Jesus and who he really is. I pray that eventually God will reveal himself to her, and she will believe.
