"Are you ready Kumal?" Mahlangu asked as she tore off a lump of asida, which is similar to porridge, from off the table and made her way towards the front door, which not much of a door, but more like a big hole in the wall.
Most of the "houses" in the village were made of dirt and contained no doors and nothing but foil for the roof. And ever though their village might have been small and poor, it had great community and amazing people.
"Hey, wai fo me!" Exclaimed Kumal as he stuffed a colossal piece of the porridge like breakfast into his mouth.
About five minutes later, they were out the door.(For they were having a bible study along with a few other orphans led by a missionary from Kenya named Abel.)
Abel was a very compassionate man. He had entrancing blue eyes and dark brown hair, which included a well kept beard. He was also quite a tall man, towering over anyone he met. And he possessed a wooden staff, which looked quite ancient and meaningful. And it contained intricate markings towards the top of the object.
"Good morning children!" Said Abel very enthusiastically. "Today we are going to learn about loving your neighbors. So, what does the bible say about loving your neighbors? Well, in Mark 12:31 it says..."
This went on for two hours without one complaint of boredom for they were captivated by his sermon.
After the lesson, Kumal went up to him, "Abel?"
"Yes Kumal, what is it?"
"If the bible says to love your neighbors, then how come it's so hard to love the Nazi's?"
"Well, not everything is easy, In Luke 6:27 it says to love your enemies and be good to those who hate you... I know how hard it is for you especially, but you have to fight that anger. It might rise to the top and just about bubble over, but in that moment, remember what the Bible says.
And at that he gave a warm and welcoming grin and walked away.
"Hey guys!" Cried Malah, Mahlangu's best friend.
Malah and Mahlangu became very close after her parents got slaughtered right in front of her very eyes. They did everything together, played, worked, walked, talked...
"Hi Malah!" Mahlangu replied overjoyed to see her.
"What did you guys think of the lesson?" She asked.
"I thought it was wonderful!" Said Mahlangu.
"It was pretty good." Said Kumal mulling about what Abel had told him.
"Well my parents have this deal, if I help them in the fields after lessons, then I can go. So I better get going. Nice seeing you again!"
"You too!" Yelled Mahlangu.
And then, the two siblings headed home with a feeling of joy in their hearts, they didn't know where it was emitting from just yet, but they were positive they would learn quite soon.
