"I Am Waiting For A Bus"
I was tired. I had been at work since 6am and I was annoyed at having missed the bus to see a friends' band play. But instead of going home and sulking, as I had wanted to do, I was determined not to let this dumb bus service get the better of me... I mean, it was their fault, not mine that I had missed it. So I decided that I would carry out my plans for later in the day earlier, and as "the girls" and myself were going to Werribee's annual festival (if you could call it that), I decided that I would go to my friends house early. So I decided that I would go and sit by the bus stop for 30 minutes, rather than missing another bus. So that's what I did. After sitting at the bus stop for a while, I saw two guys with white shirts, black pants and ties. Being instantly recgonisable, I realised without too much help that they were from a church. As they walked through the gate and up the path to the house across the road, I wondered which church they were from. Having had a new church just built across the road from my house, I wondered if that was where they were from. As the person at the house they had visited had obviously said that they were "not interested, thank you," the two young me turned back down the path and walked back through the same gate from whence they came. As they walked out of the gate, they saw me and waved.
It was at this moment that I realised that my life was missing something, maybe now it was time for me to let the Lord into my heart. Though I had filed my time with other commitments, something was missing. In the realisation of this, I would listen to what they would have to say.
Suddenly, I saw them stop. They started talking to each other and and made their way over. As they came to stand next to me, I felt a sense of peace that they seemed to carry with them. As one of the men knelt down to talk to me, he introduced himself as Elder Dapas, and the young man standing behind him introduced himself as Elder Stuart. Hearing Elder Dapas' accent, I asked what part of New Zealand he was from and from there the conversation progressed. He told me something that I have never been told before. He said that he knew what happened before we were born and what would happen when we die, where we would go and why we were here. He asked if I wanted to know. Of course I wanted to know. They said that they could teach me, if I wanted to know. So I gave them my phone number and they said that they would be in touch.
