It's a pretty amazing story. Sometimes I relate to the story that happened to me just a week ago. I moved to Turkey and was away from Orthodox churches for over a year and a half. Fortunately, when I found and went to the Greek Orthodox church long after, I felt a sense of belonging like she did on her first Sunday.
I came from orthodox family, I grow up at the protestant school since 1st grade when I get to 7th grade, I started to listen to their sebket really well and become protestant college eskegeba derese. College guadegnoche orthodox nachew ene pente ena entoto pente church ekafelalehu, gene weloye with orthodox gudoegnoche Gare nebere. They were very nice, some are law temariwoch neberu. They were like saying why don't you come to our gebe gubaye we have Jesus too.... then their love , care really draw me. Then me and one of the student who was decon sits down and discussed he answered all my questions about Saint Mary, Tabot, ....answered me everything. Then tetemeku in another day. Ohh my God I can't tell you, I can't explain well how I felt, some kind of deep happiness, peace felt in my heart. The hate that had to our lady Saint Mary convert and my love for her can't express without tears. Netela melebese which I thought was unnecessary, loved to were it, loved to take off my shoes when i go to church I still prefer to sit on the carpet on the floor, ye etanu sheta, ye abatoch webet ena mogese can not be explained without tears. Some kind of dark side of me is uncovered. The church by itself gave me rest, unexplained happiness. Mylife completely changed. Keder tetemeku on Ethiopians new yr morning 2021. It has been now so many years since converting to Orthodox, Am on my way to get kidus kurban. But with all these I felt so much guilt not to advise and teach my protestant friends and make them see the light that I saw. But am working on it. I start to read and take notes.
