Short update

hello. been quite a while since i posted something cos i'm too lazy to type. some interesting events in the past few weeks...

1) youth mission exposure trip to thailand

been 3 years since i last went with church youths to thailand. again, it was a different experience. the last time i went, i was one of the younger girls. being younger and on my first trip, mostly watched the older youths do the "tougher" jobs.

the team that went this year was smaller. i was one of the older youths this time. one of the significant experiences was preaching in mandarin at a chinese orphanage. have not spoken in a while so it was a challenge. i didnt even know that satan was "sa(third sound) dan(fourth sound)". i thought i was being tricked cos it sounds like silly egg :D

my message was about us needing to constantly draw closer to God. very short, about 10 mins... in a way, i was preaching it to myself. feeling quite distant from God. it was a good reminder for me to press on. good experience overall.

2) childrens camp

helped out part-time at this years childrens camp. focus was on the holy spirit. was nice to see all the children enjoy themselves, learning about the Holy Spirit as well as from their youth leaders. tho sometimes i wonder if they really understand what they're being taught, i learn to take it face value. like how God knows that we dont mean our sorries sometimes, that we will commit the same sin again, he still takes our word

yup as for the next few weeks, it'll be about driving(practical in 2 weeks and i'm not confident at all) and catching up with friends. you ppl update too! ^_^
