Hi guys ~
Sorry for the late updates. Anyways, back to post.
Went to Indonesia for mission trip on the 21st. Came back on the 23rd, whichh means 2 days before. Freak, and I forgotten to post. Hehe..
The mission trip was memorable. Every second of it was special and precious for me. I greatly wanna treasure that time. Gonna go a bit more into the details.
First day was already starting to be memorable. The ride on the boat was exciting. We can actually feel the waves like it's just beside us. We had fun but to others, it was vice-versa. Anyways, reached a place called Sekupang. Changed our currency there and we instantly got rich. Woohoo, it was in thousands! Haha, so after that, we instantly transferred to another boat heading to Batu. It was the time there that made it a real mission trip to me.
Stayed in a hotel. We were separated into different bedrooms: Sam with auntie Denise, my mum and my dad and the next is pastor Terence, my brother and I. Straight away after that we went to have lunch and that was 3pm indo time, which means 4 pm Singapore time. Wow.
Went back to the hotel after that to wash up. Went to a care group somewhere near our hotel. Met different types of people there there and even made friends with them. My best friend was a boy named Jia Shun. He looks very like Zi Jian. Hehe, and he is only primary 3. Cute.
Next day, we went to the church in Batu. We were asked to lead the worship there. So my mum was the worship leader, Sam on the keyboard, my bro on the guitar and I on the drum. The music totally screwed up but because God's presence was there, the music seemed to be perfect. It was my first time seeing manifestations and people getting possessed. The spirit there was very strong, both the righteous and the evil. One lady there was possessed and she needed to be held by 7 or more people. Wow, that's how strong the evil spirit can be. Strengthen yourself now! Hehe. Got to know Sophia too and added her on facebook.
The next day, we left Batu and headed for Batam. Went to one of the orphanages there and wow, they are really pitiful. There was only one thing on my mind: to give my all and my best to them and make sure God is shown truly to them. We headed to one place so that we would not disturb the villagers there. We lead worship there too, and the children there are just very enthusiastic. They worship with all their hearts. Almost all of us were moved to tears but I couldn't, cos I have to lead them in worship. Then leaders of each church began to share their testimony. All of their stories were touching. Gave out presents to the orphans there.
We not only learnt lots of things from the Lord spiritually, we also learnt accuracy in whacking mosquitos. So people, don't blame me if I see a mosquito on you! Hehe.
We managed to come back safely. God had protected us throughout the whole trip. We are just really thankful that God had helped us, although we were VERY VERY tired. Haha.
The rest of the days after that are just routine. Auntie Ruth went back to Indonesia the next day, which is Tuesday. I slept till 3 ytd. Haha. Okay, end of updates.
Going now. Will update you guys nxt time. Byes~
