Canberra Mission Trip: Day 1

Did some final packing and lazed around till Tim picked me up. He then drove some of us to the airport. And after checking in and everything, we went to Hungry Jacks for dinner. Our flight was at 7.30 and I just slept throughout the entire journey.

All ready to Go!

We arrived at Canberra Airport 2 hours later but because of daylight saving, it was already 10pm there. Pastor Nonoi with his daughter and Arnel from Hope Queanbeyan was there to welcome us. They then brought us back to our motel.

Our Canberra Mission Trip booklet

Before leaving, we had a short chat with the pastor and he told us that he was working in Coles to support the church. 

At first I wondered, why coles. But few days later, he explained that he used to be an architect but when he planted this church, he didn't want to come home with a mind that is too tired to do ministry work. So instead, he CHOSE to do an easy job which doesn't take up too much of his brain juice so that he can serve God effectively when he comes home. Working at Coles also helps him connect with the community.

Our motel room and beds

We unpacked and called it a night. As we only had 2 queen beds in each room, we had to combine the beds and someone had to sleep in the middle. Daniel selflessly volunteered so THANK YOU BRO! :P Anyway, it was a fairly equipped accomodation and we were very blessed to find it.

ID Lifegroup

Last week, we had our ID Lifegroup. Four lifegroups in QUT came together to have a great time of food, fun, and learning. :D

August

It's a new month now. And I've decided to post something here at least once a week. Perhaps something fun, or maybe more technological stuff. Who knows? Oh well...

Here's a picture of what happened yesterday. CCM's first Timeout. Where students from CCM come together for lunch with free drinks and snacks. :D

CCM Timeout 31/7/12

2.45am

It's been so long since I last wrote something here. So forgive me for not structuring anything. I'm just typing whatever I think. :P

Changed my blog layout back to the original one. Now it feels much better and familiar.

I've been studying/getting distracted by stuff the whole of last week. And so today I took a day off. Haha.

I was actually reading my old posts and realized how immature I was last time. Haha, all the flash rages and stupid opinions. Oh well. Thank God I know Him now and am able to view things differently. :)
