We are the Lord's Interns!: By Faith! 'God-sent' UmbrellaS!

Its me again! Look forward to the amazing story of the 雨伞的故事! Haha.. It was a not so normal day.. We were allowed to report late at 11am because of yesterday's late night.. Me, Pr. Gideon, Stephen were punctual BUT Tim was 10 minutes late while Rachel reached later at 11.30am.. Before devotion, Rachel was stalking people again (joking.. shes doing her face hunt) and telling us about how she was rushing until she fell onto the toilet floor and now has a ba luku on her knee.. Poor thing! Better be careful next time Rach! Tim was typing an email then he remembered that he lost his umbrella on the MRT and so he started looking through the SBS Lost and Found.. Pr. Gideon went to check the available rooms for Tuan Qi.. I was helping Yu Zhu Lao Shi to cut paper.. Stephen was doing his week 4 hw..

We then had devotion at 12 pm and we had special guests! Shou Juan Lao Shi and Yu Zhu Lao Shi joined us for the first time! haha.. The morning devotion was led by Stephen.. He was really nervous.. haha.. See..

Nervous Stephen

The morning devotion was about Faith! We read Hebrews 11:8-19... We should maintain strong faith like Abraham.. But we must remember that we should treat Abraham as an example and not trying to be him but we should follow Jesus as he is the one with the strongest faith.. Stephen also say that faith is not a momentary thing but a day in day out thing.. Then we shared about our experience of keeping faith.. Some of us (Pr. Gideon, Tim and Yu Zhu Lao Shi) talked about missionary trips and evangelism while others (Me, Stephen and Shou Juan Lao Shi) talked about their life story.. We heard how God really prepares our way for us even though we are unsure of our journey ahead.. Oh yar! We had to frequently switch from Channel 5 to Channel 8.. haha.. I hope you understand what i mean..

After devotion, we had lunch at Waterloo Center (opp. Hotel Royal, beside Oxford Hotel), together with Liu Mu Shi.. We ate roast duck.. It was yum yum! Haha.. Oh and and.. Shou Juan Lao Shi and Yu Zhu Lao Shi started talking about the days when we interns were young.. Interesting stories! but i don't remember those stuffs happened! how? Maybe i got short-term memory.. haha.. So we chatted while we were eating.. Then here comes the 'God-sent' Umbrella story! We were about to go our separate ways after lunch when BROOM! the drizzle became huge rain! Best thing, we did not bring umbrellas! Only Liu Mu Shi, Yu Zhu Lao Shi and Shou Juan Lao Shi brought umbrellas.. Liu Mu Shi and Yu Zhu Lao Shi returned to office first while Pr. Gideon and Shou Juan Lao Shi went to buy New Year Cards and the interns excluding me went to library to find info for the report Zhang Mu Shi asked us to do while i went to buy fancy paper for my brochure for newcomers before joining the rest at the library.. So we had to share one umbrella among 6 of us.. And then guess what! When Tim, Stephen and Shou Juan Lao Shi shared an umbrella to Grace Baptist Church, they found an umbrella on the ground (Liu Mu Shi actually predicted this you know!).. The best is yet to come! The rest of us got to the church and found out that the umbrella belonged to a Chuan Dao there who is Shou Juan Lao Shi's friend.. She actually offered to lend us the church's umbrellas! Isn't that totally 'God-sent' Umbrellas?! Haha.. It was so cool.. We walked out to the drizzle from our church to Bras Plaza by faith (actually we didn't think of bringing umbrellas.. haha) and God sent us umbrellas to go do our errands! PRAISE THE LORD! YAY! haha..

Heres National Library! Isn't it cool!

After we got back to church, we started to write on the New Year Cards Pr. Gideon bought... Harry and Seth joined us too.. Haha.. People! Guess who wrote your cards! We had a fun time trying to write and learn chinese at the same time.. lolz.. Some mistakes really made us have a good laugh.. Plus i wrote the New Year Card to myself.. Isn't that hilarous.. AND i destroyed my own card with 2 wrong words! haha.. Erm for the rest of the cards.. I cannot be sure that all the words are written correctly.. haha sorry paiseh! Human error so forgive us! haha.. Finally we were done..
