Question
12. What do you learn from Rosa’s example?
12 Consider the experience of Rosa, a pioneer in Colombia. Her work brought her into repeated contact with a non-Witness man who began to show interest in her. Rosa was attracted to him. She says: “He seemed like a very good man. He volunteered in his community and had a healthy lifestyle. I liked how he treated me. He had what I wanted in a husband except he was not a Witness.” She continues: “It was difficult to say no to him because it was something that I wanted emotionally. At that time, I felt somewhat alone and I wanted to get married, but I hadn’t been able to find someone in the truth.” Yet, Rosa did not focus only on what she could see. She contemplated how this decision would affect her friendship with Jehovah. Thus, she ended all contact with the man and kept busy in theocratic activities. Shortly thereafter, she was invited to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers, and she now serves as a special pioneer. Rosa says: “Jehovah has filled my heart with much happiness.” Although it may not be easy to walk by faith in matters so close to the heart, it is always worth it.
