Love da video :) One used for today's OCF (Overseas Christian Fellowship) meeting!! Loved Mr Ow's acting! Haha, we basically laughed through his announcement hiaks..Happee watching!!! :P
I should really tell ya more on Missions Day where we go out and help families or individuals in crisis in need. It was such an amazing experience lo. You know how when we as christians think of missions, we'll most probably think of places that are a few thousand kilometers all the way in Thailand or some other country. It really stuck me that missions could be right next door.
We went as a team under YWAM (Youth With a Mission). After splitting into smaller groups,each group were assigned a house to help at. We went to this single mother's house where she fractured her ankle and she has 5 kids ranging from 1 years old to 18 years old.
It was really a tough time for her as she couldn't really do much chores in the house as she wasn't able to move about properly. All we did was come in with some tools, help clean what we can and fix up a bit of her garden. I think what made the trip significant was the prayers we had for her on our way there in our cars. Cleaning had never been so fun before!! Like what Cheryl mentioned, its like whatever's thrown at you or however dirty it can be, we weren't worried bout it and in turn go OK, lets get this cleaned!! :)
The lady's kids lovely and doing things around the house that I never did at that age. One of the girls who are probably around 9 or 10 was carrying her 1 year old sister and making sure she didn't cry whereas when the mother said she wanted coffee, 1/2 sugar and... the 12-year old boy just left what he was doing and went and boiled water and made the perfect coffee for his mum. He was helping me clean his brother's room by the way. He has really big eyes which he said won him a few awards for having the biggest eyes for an Aussie. :P
The family was just such a happee family to work with and you can see how thankful they were for us to come by. We did not manage to make everything sparkling clean but results from helping out for that few hours were instant as rooms and the kitchen are cleaner, gardens have less weeds and so forth. I believe it was an eye opening yet rewarding experience that if you put anyone in our shoes to be able to help out these people and see results happen in front of your eyes would feel the same way as well.
Okies, this is all from me this time :) Back to studies....and dim sum later with WC com :P Heheee
