People I meet on Commerce Street in Kaitaia in the north of New Zealand:

Not long ago I talked to a Hare Kishna monk  for quite some time. He was selling books by donation. He recognized me from three years ago. I did not.  I told him that I worked for 13 years in Thailand as a missionary and that a former buddhist priest was my language teacher.

And today I had a conversation with two Jehovah’s Witnesses. They are keen distributers of the magazines “AWAKE!” and “THE WATCHTOWER”. I am always amazed at the printing of each issue.
