i figured i better start writing before this blog gets mouldy. i should get down to some serious blogging soon to prepare myself for the 4 months away from home :) check out pics and updates then :)
just came back from cambodia this morning. hmm this is my second time there. a very different experience with very different people. but the sense of familiarity just hits me when i got to meet the people there. its like, you've only met them once, and that was one year ago but you just feel like you've known them for the longest time ever. and its just so rewarding to know that you feel this cos you know there's some form of bond forged in the midst of God's love.
we went to same places, aoral villages and COGS, but the work we did were a little different this time. like this time in the aoral health post, instead of entertaining the kids, bings and i were washing children's hands and cutting their fingernails. it was really the best part of the mission trip. to serve these people whom God loves as much as He loves us. and im truly blessed by their humble and thankful heart despite the difference in faith.
did medical missions in the city as well where i got to help out in the dispensary. haha picked up some medical knowledge from the 2 docs and some khmer writings. hahaha. learnt a lot!
but i think the most amazing part of this mision trip is how God used the 10 of us in this trip. we started out as 10 individuals with distinct groups. i.e. cheryl and her family, the younger people, and like the rest i suppose. haha. but as the days go by, we began interacting more with each other and truly getting to know one another better. this would have been something i will never do in church itself. so it was really by God's grace that we are able to laugh out hearts out with each other, make occasional jokes and just enjoy each other. :)
The greatest take back in this trip would be the lesson of patience and perseverance. I think through many events God has showed me what patience is, what patience produces and He has allowed me to transform this quality into tangible results.
so yup, now i have to adapt back to the complex city life. hahaha. getting back to sleeping later, eating more, having the internet, hahahaha, i love singapore la. hahahaha.
