Mongolia

It's been a week plus since I returned from Mongolia. I've never expected to go there, even for a mission trip..well God's ways are higher and better I believe! One of the first things I had to adjust to was the colder weather. It was dry- my lips were cracking and my hands and feet were getting scaly.. I had to put on lots of mosturizing cream. Before long I was marveling at the buildings and roads that I did not expect to see in Mongolia. They were Russian style, built when they controlled the country many years ago. I was surprised to hear that all their universities were near one another, lined up along what was the University Street. Coolz.. The people were strange and interesting to me. They spoke in such a queer language that it sounded like Japanese, Malay and Cantonese simultaneously! Hard as we tried, we never really suceeded in speaking it. Yet it did not stop us from sharing the gospel to 90 Mongolian students, out of which 38 received Christ! The hea...

'Hesed' way of life

After Women's Conference, I ran a fever and a Gen 12II meeting at the same time. Thank God the fever is gone now and the meeting was fruitful! I learnt many precious lessons from the lives of close to 200 women at the conference. We heard from many inspiring women-Judy Douglas, Andrea Buczynski, and Dr Kim who expounded on the book of Ruth-another woman whom I had learnt much from.

in loving memory

My Grandpa passed on last Sun night. Though we were all prepared for the worst, everybody was very sad. We couldn't bear to let him go. My grandpa is a good man. Quiet and reserved, he speaks alot only when he's angry. He's a dutiful and caring husband and I remember him cooking for the family when my grandma was sick. He did the groceries when she could not walk long distances anymore. He doted on me and always bought me breakfast. I remember that he would be the first to wake up and make coffee-old style with sock-for everybody. When I attended kindergarten and pri sch he'd wait for me and fetch me home. I became known as the student whose grandfather waited for after school. He's always shaking his leg while smoking a cigarette. And he loves "brick game"! But after a fall in the toilet followed by an operation he could no longer walk as much and became very pessimistic. He withdrew into his shell and seldom spoke. Sometimes he refused to ea...
