“Why should the church body be different❓”

Because each of us is called to serve a different part of the church body.

My badminton practice ended.

Chan sir said, “Hey, I’ve got a student. His English is poor. Will you teach him?”

I said, “Secondary or primary?”

Chan sir said, “Primary.”

I said, “Alas, no. It’s out of my character to make long-winded speeches. I’m not that patient. I’m not able to teach primary kids.”

Chan sir said, “Actually, the kid is practicing after you. You’ve had a game with him.”

I said, “Really?”

Chan sir said, “Look, his mum’s sitting over there. Let’s talk with her before your decision.”

I said, “Alright.”

.....

Mum said, “Chan sir said, you teach English in the college.”

I said, “Yes, I do.”

Mum said, “I want to look for an English tutor for my son.”

I said, “OK.”

Mum said, “He’s bad in English. He was being taught by a female tutor that studied law in the university.”

I said, “Why are you looking for another when some tutor is already teaching him well?”

Mum said, “She’s turned so busy since the 3rd year of her studies. And she resigned.

I said, “I see.”

Mum said, “Then 2 more female tutors taught him.”

I said, “Why are you looking for another if some tutor is already teaching him well?”

Mum said, “Not very well. The first one quit after a while and the second did the same.”

I said, “Wow.”

Mum said, “He hates English very much. We’ve had a lot of arguments over it.”

I said, “Alas.”

Mum said, “Do you think you can handle him?”

I said, “It’s out of my character to make long-winded speeches. I’m not that patient so...”

Mum said, “It’s such a headache to me. Can you give a try?”

I said, “Alright.”

My badminton practice ended.

Chan sir said, “Can you handle him?”

I said, “Yes, it’s done.”

Chan sir said, “The two tutors before can’t do it. You can do it.”

I said, “Actually, he can do it.”

Chan sir said, “What has been done?”

I said, “I’ve done what I do - no long-winded speeches but giving assignment immediately after teaching. Then I told him about the assignment, ‘If you do it, come back next week. If you don’t, don’t come back next week.’”

Chan sir said, “What did he do?”

I said, “The next week, he did the assignment and came back.”
