On our last weekday on campus, we went into a local city and visited different church sites. I went with a group that visited and had lunch with a family from a low-income section's church. The lady we visited was AMAZING. She was so loving and enthusiastic and open and joyful, even when sharing her own life story and testimony (which wasn't pretty). She's suffered a lot of losses and stuff, but she's still full of the joy of the Lord. She told us, "The doctor wanted me to go on meds for depression again, but I told him, 'No, I don't need to, because I know Jesus!' I haven't suffered from depression since."
And she was so enthusiastic to pray! After we'd talked and a few of us (including myself) had shared our testimonies, and for the last hour of the visit, she was all, "Let's pray now, let's pray now..." When we prayed before leaving and it was her turn, she prayed for about twenty minutes. Her joyfulness and enthusiasm and love were totally infectious and wonderful to see!
We shared our experiences with different groups that night with the others, and I think it was incredible how these people were connected to God.
