布努·普尔非 （Boonoo Purvee)

完全信靠

蒙古，10月9日，布努·普尔非，29岁。

高中学习最关键的是什么时候呢？

在蒙古，对高中生而言，最后一年就是最关键的时刻。因为这年他们不单要毕业，而且还有参加一个决定他们是否能上大学的考试。

高中的最后一年，对布努而言也相当地特别，因为她受洗了。那时有两位宣教士到她的学校办戒烟班。虽然布努不抽烟，但她因为没事可做，就去参加了。她很喜欢这两位宣教士，所以非常欣然地接受了去他们家查经的邀请。很快她就爱上了耶稣也受了洗。

受洗之后，布努开始认真地为大学入学考试做准备。如果她能考到高分，就可以选自己想上的大学。

很多学生都会为了考试请家教，有的学生想读历史专业就备考历史，有的想读护理专业就会备考医学院。布努喜欢数学，可她没有多余的钱来请家教辅导她参加数学考试。所以她就跟上帝祷告说：“亲爱的主，我只能自学，我会每天要求自己解五道题目。请祢帮助我。”

终于到考试时间了，全省的考生都聚在镇上最大的学校里。和布努一起参加数学考试的共有六百人，只有拿到最高分的人可以优先选择自己理想的大学。她再次祷告说：“主啊，求祢与我同在。”

开始考试了，老师把门锁了起来，并且告诉学生只有在完成考试且老师批阅了试卷之后才能离开考场。考生们考完试之后只需要安心等待就行。有的父母还会通过窗户给自己的孩子递吃的。

老师后来又来了，宣布说考试成绩需要隔日才能公佈，所以考生们当晚都回家了。

隔日早晨，布努起床的时候就发现昨晚下了雨。现在却阳光明媚，一切看起来都如此美好。她心中响起一首蒙古复临信徒非常喜欢的歌曲的一段歌词：“祢的爱高过天、深过海。”她开始赞美上帝，一点都不担心考试的成绩。

到了学校，她看见布告栏前围着一群争先恐后的学生，他们都想知道自己考了多少分。但是人太多了，布努实在挤不过去，就拜托一位男同学帮她看成绩。

“能看到我的名字吗？我排到前十名了吗？”布努问道。

男孩回答“没有”，她的心不由得往下一沉。

可当她往前靠的时候竟然看到自己排在第五名。她觉到实在难以置信！后来老师分发考卷，她看到自己40道题只错了一道。仔细检察后才发现是老师改错了，她没有答错。她指出这个问题时老师却不想再改。老师说如果改了布努的成绩，那就必须重新审核所有同学的考卷。

布努感到很失望，因为她很想拿到满分。但她突然想起她的祷告，就将最终的结果交托给上帝。

到了选大学的日子，拿最高分的同学优先选了他理想的大学，然后第二名学生也选好了。轮到布努了，竟然没人选她理想的学校：蒙古国立大学（National University of Mongolia）。于是，她便获得了就读这所大学的资格。

“一切都是上帝的旨意，祂知道我不需要满分也可以去我心目中的大学。我从一开始就只需要完全地信靠祂，”布努说。

 现在布努29岁了，在蒙古的安泽国际救援协会（ADRA）里担任总会计师。她和丈夫也在蒙古成立了第一所具有前峰会的教会。他们每周都会开放自己的家，一间蒙古包，作为聚会场所。

Perfect Trust

 Mongolia, Oct. 9, Boonoo Purvee 29 years old.

What’s the most important year of high school?

In Mongolia, the most important year is the last year. That is the year that students not only graduate but also take special exams to determine whether they can go to a university.

The last year of high school was extra special for Boonoo because she got baptized. Two missionaries came to her small town and taught a class at her high school on how to stop smoking. Boonoo didn’t smoke, but she attended the classes anyway because she had nothing more interesting to do. She liked the missionaries, and she happily accepted an invitation to study the Bible in their home. Soon she fell in love with Jesus and was baptized.

After baptism, Boonoo got serious about preparing for her university entrance exam. If she got a high score, she could choose which university to attend.

Many classmates hired private tutors to help prepare for the exam. Students who wanted to major in history studied for a history exam. Students who wanted to major in nursing studied for a medical exam. Boonoo loved math, but she didn’t have money to hire a tutor for the math exam. So, she prayed for help. “Dear God, I’ll teach myself, and I’ll prepare by solving five math problems every day,” she prayed. “Just help me, please.”

Finally, exam day came. All high school graduates from across the province gathered in the town’s main school. Nearly 600 students joined Boonoo for the math exam. Whoever got the highest test score would be allowed to choose a university first. Boonoo prayed, “God, be with me.”

Then the exam started. The teacher locked the door and told the students that they couldn’t leave until after they had finished, and their exams had been graded. After students finished the exam, they waited. And waited. Some parents passed food in through the window.

Finally, the teacher reappeared and announced that the test results would only be released the next day. He allowed everyone to go home for the night.

When Boonoo woke up in the morning, she saw that it had rained. Everything was clean, and the sun was shining. In her heart, she heard the words of a song that Mongolian Adventists love to sing, “Your love is higher than the sky. Your love is wider than the sea.” Boonoo wasn’t worried about the exam. She praised God.

At school, she saw students clustered around a bulletin board with a list of the test scores. She could not get close enough to see, so she asked a boy for help.

“Can you see my name?” she said. “Is my name there among the top 10 names?”

Her heart sank when the boy said, “No.”

But when she got closer, she saw that her name was in fifth place. She couldn’t believe it! Later, the teacher handed back the graded exams, and Boonoo noticed that she had missed only one of the 40 math equations. Then she looked closer and realized that the teacher had made a mistake. She had given the correct answer. She pointed out the mistake to the teacher, but he refused to change her grade. He said that if he changed it, then he would have to double check all the tests.

Boonoo was upset. She wanted a perfect score. Then she remembered that she had prayed and God had helped her. The final grade was in His hands.

Then it came time for the students to choose their universities. The student who had the top score selected a university. Then the next student chose. Finally, it was Boonoo’s turn. No one had yet picked the National University of Mongolia, so she got to choose it.

“This was God’s will,” said Boonoo. “God knew I didn’t have to get a perfect grade to enroll in the university. I just needed to trust in Him perfectly.”

Today, Boonoo is 29 and uses her math skills to work as ADRA’s chief accountant in Mongolia. She and her husband also opened the only Pathfinder church in Mongolia. The church meets in their home, a traditional Mongolian yurt.
