Back from Perawang! It was quite a good mission trip:) One of the best I've been to actually. Though I think that we could have actually done more. Cuz like going all the way there to do a little bit isn't very worth it. The last 2 days were like holidays... I think it's nicer to go to these kind of places rather than like Cheras.

But the concerts were awesome:) Never had such atmosphere in church before. Maybe except revelution a long time ago? But I don't really remember that already cuz it was so long ago, I was prob sec 1 or 2. Dance was great too! I enjoyed dancing 'Nothing is impossible'. And indeed, nothing is impossible with GOD :) The dancers there were really enthusiastic and so determined to learn the dance though a very short time was given. I think they learn faster than us even though they're not used to doing this kind of dances. And some of them are very cute haha. We normally count one to eight when learning the dance so they counted too... but in Bahasa Indonesia heh... satu dua tiga empat lima enam tujuh lapan:) I actually think that their tamborine dance is cool too. And it's like 'choreographed' on the spot. They have a few standard steps then one leader will give instructions as to which step to do during the song itself.

Hopefully we can bring the enthusiasm back to church and to youth. Though the audience really play quite a huge role in building up and maintaining the atmosphere. The people there really responded very well. But at least it showed us that with God's help, we can do it. It's not only those really pro bands that can hold these kind of concerts. STORM can do it too! And if we can do it there, why not in Singapore right... And also ultimately, we learnt that God is in control. And as long as we allow Him to work through us, nothing is impossible :)

And the pastor and family were very hospitable. Very difficult to find people like this in Singapore. Though somehow when I go overseas the people there are always very hospitable. Like that time in Thailand. They go all the way out and even the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and to accomodate not only to our needs but also our wants. Like we want to drink coke and there is coke the very next meal and every meal after that. They really go out on the spot to buy for us. And they give up all their rooms for us to sleep. Oh and the kids there are very cute haha :)

It was also great to spend time with the rest of the youths and get to know them better:) I am happy that I managed to buy my strings to do the friendship band! And influenced all the other girls to buy and do it too haha :) All in all it was a good trip:) Though we initially felt really unprepared. God is good:)

Puji Tuhan! :D
