Time flies! On 31 May 2011, I arrived to Quito, Ecuador! I have been here in Quito, Ecuador for more than 3 months already! These few months have passed like a whirlwind! I felt that I have been here much longer, as many things have happened. I am quite lazy to write my blog these days but I think I should pen down my experiences here in Quito, Ecuador as well as in Santiago, Chile so that I would remember this wonderful period of my life, the last lap of my church-planting in South America (for the time being, I hope!).
Some significant things that happened are as follows (haha, I think I like to write things down in lists, this structured part of me should be credited to my 6 years engineering background in NUS.)
- started work at Inlingua (first time teaching some big shots like Regional GM, HR manager of a multi-national companies)
- started playing the keyboard, lead praise and worship in church!
- started to know the people here, my caregroup (led by Katy)! They are warm and fun-loving people!
- went to Cotopaxi with my caregroup!
- helped to organise the SALT conference 2011 in Quito!
- went to Cuenca for a short trip with my team!
- Lalitha’s mother passed away, and we attended the funeral service, sang in one of the services with Katy!
- visited Ivana at the hospital who got into a automobile accident. Thank God she is ok!
- visited Lucy many times at the hospital
- saw 4 new believers in a single caregroup
- helped to cook for more than 100 people at Pan de vida, a social work organisation for 3 times so far
- managed to wake up for my morning classes so far (the classes are as early as 7 am in the morning! GOsh…)
- got my cellphone stolen within the first month here (really careless!)
- suffering from rashes since beginning of August (real ITCHY!!!)
- serving with my wonderful team (Shenteng and Peiru) I really have a lot to learn from them…
- …
I can’t think anymore! Oops, getting late! I should sleep…tomorrow I have a class at 7.30 am! God, help me to wake up!
Thank you Lord, In Jesus Name, I pray!
xian jie… jiayou.
