im really glad that friday and saturday are over. been waiting for sunday to arrive ever since thursday. i had to get up at 8am on friday (yes believe that) then worked from 10am to 6pm. i wont say it was as tiring as serving in a wedding dinner or banquet, but it was still no easy work. then singing prac from 7.30pm-11pm, dinner at 12.30am. then sat waking up again at 8.30am then prac at 10am, followed by first service, then second, then shepherd's meet, then CG evaluation.
oh, and during work on friday, i met a missionary there, as in he was my working colleague for the day. his name's daniel. talked to him quite a bit and realised that he was not from any particular church but like he wanted to do something for God. he left his life in singapore, followed a pastor friend of his and went over to thailand to like build an orphanage for young children, and shared the Gospel in various villages and to the children as well. and something like he wrote in to some organisation in charged there to dig a well and some fund something i forgot for the sch. oh yeah he showed me some pictures of his missionary work there too.
what really amazed me was that he's already like perhaps in his late 50s? and to have him as like my colleague felt, different. like u know waitering and stuff isnt exactly easy work and like the managers shout and order people around and stuff, so i duno, i kinda really respected him for what he's doing and all. he's like back in singapore for a month only so he's gonna earn some cash then go back to thailand to continue his work.
talked to him more after work, like asked him how does he feel doing all these, and like wad does his family think about it, esp like even when he kinda had to give up a marriage life. really encouraged to hear him say that he never found something so meaningful and joyous like this in his entire life, and that i wont get what he means unless i try it out myself.
and right;
