Asi amai vangu nehanzvadzi dzangu vaisaziva masaini, uye vaingogona kusaina zvishoma nekuita mamwe masaini ekuzvifungira kuti vataure neni. Zvisinei, amai vangu vaindida uye vaindidzivirira panjodzi.

Pandaiva mudiki, amai vangu vaienda neni kuchechi yeRoma, asi hapana zvandainzwisisa nekuti hapana aiturikira mumutauro wemasaini. Zvaifinha zvekuti ndakarega kuenda kuchechi kwacho pandakasvitsa makore 10. Asi ndakanga ndichiri kuda kuziva zvakawanda nezvaMwari.

Muna 1999, ndava nemakore 23, ndakasangana nemumwe mukadzi aibva kuUnited States aipinda chechi yainzi Inter-community Church of God. Akandiitisa zvidzidzo zveBhaibheri ndokubva andidzidzisa Mutauro Wemasaini wekuAmerica (ASL). Ndakafarira zvandaidzidza nezveBhaibheri zvakanyanya zvekuti ndakafunga zvekuita mufundisi.

Mumwe wacho ainzi Patricia, uye akazova mudzimai wangu.

Semufundisi wechechi, ndaipa mharidzo nemasaini, ndichiratidza mifananidzo yenyaya dzemuBhaibheri, uye kuita mitambo yenyaya dzacho kuitira kuti matsi dzinzwisise. Ndakashanyirawo matsi mumataundi aiva pedyo ndichivakurudzira uye kuvabatsira pamatambudziko avo. Ndakatoitawo rwendo rweumishinari kuUnited States nekuZambia.

Kunyange zvazvo Thomas akandipa uchapupu hunoratidza kuti Zvapupu zvaJehovha isangano rechokwadi, handina kumbozvibvuma.

Kwapera mwedzi inoverengeka, Patricia paakabatwa nechirwere chedepression, akanyengetera kuna Mwari kuti Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvimushanyire zvekare. Pasina nguva, muvakidzani wedu uyo aiva mumwe weZvapupu zvaJehovha akashanyira Patricia uye akati aigona kuudza Liccy kuti amushanyire. Liccy akaratidza kuti aiva shamwari yechokwadi. Aiuya kuzoona Patricia vhiki nevhiki kuti amukurudzire uye adzidze naye Bhaibheri. Asi, ini pane zvinhu zvandakanga ndichiine mubvunzo nazvo pamusoro peZvapupu.
