How being a missionary changed my life!
​
I always thought being a missionary was an easy thing, sadly I was mistaken. I guess it was because I was called to do my missionary work in Melbourne. And I had the thought it would go the way I had planned, knowing Australia is a rich country. But getting there and doing my work it was different. Things were harder than I had imagined. There were times where I didn’t have enough money; there wasn’t enough food on some days and it was new for me. I think it’s because I always had it easy, always having to rely on my parents.

Those two years of hardship was actually something I’m glad happened to me. Because it reminded me of my parents and the hard times they went through for my family. Dad worked at the kava plantation while Mom weaved mats. And I thought to myself, if my parents can do what they can with the jobs they have then I should be able to do more. This is why I’m looking for a job, to help my parents and to prove I am the daughter they can count on.

You understand people better by placing yourself in their shoes.
