I personally recommend hearing “Worship is Response” and “Music Pastor as Pastor”. I hope this blesses you.

Here’s the link. 6 more days only!

Well, its been really quick. Bought lotsa music, sang lotsa music, heard lotsa sermons. Its really all flying past me here and I hope I can take the rest of my break here to mull over whatever I’ve heard.

Anyway me and david took the giant swing today.. about 5 storeys high kinda thing where they winch you up one side then release you. Its a super rush, just started laughing and laughing, they must have thought we were crazy. David says we were the “flying chinks” act but we don’t know if they frown upon racist inuendo so we didn’t say it out loud.

*Mrs Mincy just walked past to her room*

Anyway we’re gonna fly out tomorrow morning pretty early so we’re packing tonight. David just walked in with another pile of music 3 fingers thick. We’re going to have problems with the weight limit soon. My luggage was at the limit when I came here, now its going to exceed. Haha..

Going for dinner soon, have a great time back home. I’m already starting to want to be home. Its kinda boring (and annoying *shhhh*) to be with the same person every single day. Another interesting thing is I heard the “your english is real good” comment made at david. So, *puts on thick american accent* I told him that I don’t like to put on the accent and their eyes opened abit wider and they looked kinda suprised. Kinda silly how they think an accent makes english good or bad. The grammer, language and vocab decides how good your english is right? Anyway I’ve to go for dinner already, tardiness doesn’t exist here and usually, people here are early the amount people are late back home.

awwright yaawl, awl just ‘ead fer dinner now, see ya later.

Okay, I’ve reached the Wilds! It was a smooth trip here, other than the disgusting security checks. Feels so troublesome. I’ll update another time, need to make some ultra last minute travel plans.

Oh yes! Forgot to say, I saw Mrs Mincy. Will snap a photo when I’m free.. Anyone wanna say hi? Just ltag or email me or something.

Some photos to appease you for the moment…

Update - 1857hrs

Well, turns out the main meeting area also has a wireless network connection! Thats going to be so interesting. Also found out they record the messages in MP3 format now so no more crazy heavy and bulky tapes! yay! People are still filterng in. David kinda lost his bible and has gone back to the eating hall to look for it. Ate stuffing, mashed potatos, turkey and some kinda corn bread. It was salty and really nice. Sat with a bunch of people who happened to support the Delanys!

People Met so far: Cheryl Webb, Mrs Mincy.

Okay, I’m too lazy to upload one by one. Get the zip file here.

Well, I updated the previous post with a little photos. Today’s post is just going to be text - Photos are too many! Goodness.

Walk back to hotel

I have to keep track of all this, intend to do a flash thingy for myself.

Anyway we both are glad only two of us came for a number of reasons.

• This place is dodgy/not safe
• We did some crazy stuff already
• We walk alot alot alot

Yeah, so its kinda great that only we two came. I can’t imagine taking care of anyone younger than me, much less girls. Anyway, we’re kinda getting tired of new york. Its quite nauseating to keep seeing city sights and moving around. Too much yin already, need some yang to balance.. haha..

Safe and sound in New York! The trip was pretty funny, shall go into details next time. I’m eating at a pizza place now, the portions are just HUGE! Can’t add pictures cos my card reader is pretty inaccessible now. David’s making a call to the hotel now to find the easiest way to go while I make a quickie post here. I’ve already taken a ton of photos. Mailed a postcard to ben and I’m about to leave. Will update with photos when I can get to my pictures in the camera.

Now for a photodump!! Big one! Took me ages. Don’t expect this kinda numbers all the time! I also captioned everything.. I’m so tired I fell asleep a few times doing this. Good night and good morning people.

Theres still are italian dinner photos I haven’t uploaded. Too lazy and too tired. next time! I’m off to bed. David has been slain by the Z-monster long time ago.

Finally! Off to bed I go….

UPDATE - the night photos

I’m flying off in exactly 4 hours. Went ice skating just now, must say it was pretty fun, just that I’m not so great at it. Eu and YX fell down. Doing last minute stuffing now. I’m really quite tired actually, fell asleep on the floor just now. This is quite exciting to go to the wilds again but I must say I’m not completely prepared.. Pray for me and david as we go that we find a clear purpose and do exactly what we need to do there.

Ecclesiastes 12

13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
