the quarantine's good in a way, apart from the boredom that may result. it gives me time to prepare and plan stuff and hopefully do some reading. the irregular hours of sleep have set in. even without the quarantine, i doubt i'll find myself anywhere else.
the mission trip was tiring but rewarding. we had quite a hectic schedule that kept us busy from morning till evening. then more planning and preparation after dinner. the last night was serious fun haha. we literally sang the night away. what started off as a song used by the older kids for their presentation became a something that we grew to love and the song could not leave our minds. it's still playing in mine till now. after practising our drama and tanda cinta act, the casual singing got more serious. we started recording and singing in parts plus a capella to enhance the song. it's probably the most relaxing night we had 'cos we didnt need to plan anymore haha.
one of my favourite boys looked so sad on the day we were leaving that i asked jeffrey to help me find out the reason. turned out that he was upset that we're leaving. oh man my tears just rolled when i heard that. and i was in the midst of taking photos. it's amazing what 4 days of interaction can do and how little it takes for the gospel to be shared. i can only pray that he'll remember what he's learnt from us and the bridge to life. tried to cheer him up by teaching him how to make a double star with a rubber band. i'll never forget that 'terima kasih lause'.
to do justly to love mercy to walk humbly with You God
Gembala Baik Gembala baik bersuling nan merdu membimbing aku pada air tenang dan membaringkan aku berteduh di padang rumput hijau berkenan
oh gembalaku itu Tuhanku membuat aku tentram hening mengalir dalam sungai kasihku kuasa damai cerlang bening
