In March 1947, just a few weeks after my graduation as a missionary from the eighth class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead, then located in South Lansing, New York, U.S.A., I was on my way to my foreign assignment ​ — faraway Singapore.
Märtsis 1947, mõni nädal pärast tollal New Yorgi osariigis South Lansingis asuva Vahitorni ühingu Gileadi piiblikooli 8. kursuse lõpetamist, olin teel kaugele Singapuri, kuhu mind oli määratud.
