"Emergency Transfer"
Last words in the last minutes of his PDay hour while IM'ing with us:
"I just got an
unexpected call from President and they are moving me to KL (Kuala Lampur) for
two weeks. This is totally unexpected, an emergency transfer! I am going to
leave in 3 days....I am a bit in shock... So many emotions already... I can explain
next week!"
Miracles thru the Haze
Yep, the haze has set in here in Singapore and it's right about that time of the year! The wind direction changes and the burning in Indonesia supplies a nice think smog every day here in the city. Doesn't mean the miracles have to stop! The smog brings back some cherished memories from about a year ago to the this day: It was my first day in Malaysia and , what an adventure that was, haha! I have lived on this side of the earth for 1 year now, and I can still remember stepping off the plane my first hour here and getting slapped in the face with this humidity, love it!
Onto the highlights this past week: Last P-day we did something called duck
tours here in Singapore. You ride around in the old 'land and water trucks' they
used in WWII here, and they give you a tour of the city as well as the Marina
Bay. That was fun to sit and relax although it was expensive. Everything, is
expensive here in Singapore. Land of the high rollers!
During weekly planning this we try
to get the energy up. We decided to get a game of, "in the apartment cricket,"
going: Used a spoon, wiffle ball, and some shoe racks, and the game went
great!
But, small miracles are happening here in Singapore and I don't care
what the perception is of Asian missions! Day after day, we are taking down this
idol called, 'money,' and one by one we are changing pride and tradition to
humility and repentance. Love you all!
