Visiting Judy
Posted by taiwankat on September 4, 2009
We walked into the house with a table filled with food: noodles, dou fu gan (tofu of some sort), seaweed, and a variety of meat. Both of Judy’s parents were there. We had another long, long conversation with Judy’s parents about religion. (Well, Veronika talked with them, while I listened to Judy tell me the story of the entire Harry Potter series.) Judy’s parents seem to enjoy sharing about their beliefs and don’t mind hearing about our Faith as well. However, the roots of tradition and idol worship run deep into their hearts like cracked earth— dry and barren. I realized that we could talk for hours, even days, but I’m sure that nothing we say is going to change their minds. We can share with them, spend time with them, but the biggest thing we can do is to pray for Judy and her family. Only through the power of the Holy Spirit will their hearts be transformed…it’s really the Holy Spirit.
