Dr. Reese is the Missions professor at Roanoke Bible College. I just got back from his house, where Danielle and I spent 2 hours talking to him about our plans. Danielle is going to go to Tanzania. Dr. Reese had gone to Tanzania only last year and has been a missionary in Africa for many years. So we were able to swap stories, him telling us of Africa, us telling him of roadtrips to Missionary Conventions and the short term trips that we've been on.
There is nothing I enjoy more than listening to the stories of missionaries. I would greatly recommend sitting at the feet of any missionary that you can find and listen to what they have to say. Missionaries have seen things that Americans would never dream of. Gain wisdom you could not have gained by yourself. Listen and become open minded.
But I suppose this isn't true of only missionaries. Listen to everyone. Everyone has done things, learned things, knows things, that you could not or have not. Learn it from them. You'll find yourself better prepared for life that way.
