21-year-old Brazilian theology student going through his darkest time, living a life that up until that point had been pretty mediocre, I was almost convinced that atheism or some form of nihilism would be the only reasonable way to make the most of the air I had left in my lungs. This was me before leaving school for one semester to serve as a missionary in Zambia—a country located on the African continent, a country I knew nothing about except for the great safaris and, of course, the famous Victoria Falls. Shame on me. Three other student missionaries from Brazil went with me: Lucas, Guilherme, and Victor. Although we came from different backgrounds, all of us were going through a period of hurting in our lives. After our flight landed, we took a bus to travel the last thousand kilometers to our final destination, a village outside the city of Chipata, the home of Mwami Adventist Hospital.
