Today was a busy day. Once again it was a early morning. Late last night we tried doing some laundry in the shower. When we woke up this morning we failed drastically. Damp clothes aren't that fun. The positive in Singapore is that with the humanity and heat it drys up pretty fast.
We had some miscommunication this morning which I am starting to realize will be more common on the trip. We made the changes and actually made a Palm Sunday church service at Queenstown Lutheran Church. People were so inviting it was such a blessing. Even though we were there for half the service, it was by far one of the best experiences that I have ever had. The best thing about this is that there is more to come :)
After leaving the service we headed over the ACJC where we played yesterday to help in e children's ministry. This is what was actually on the schedule. We had such a good time with the kids. They were between the ages of 9-12 so I was a super blessed time. We pretty much played games with only 3 basketballs. We split them up into 3 groups so it gave the team a chance to share with them what Jesus has done in our life's. For the most part this is the first time I have openly shared my faith with little ones so I was really a cool experience for me. I understand why God calls us to be like children in the Bible. We had a kid named Ryan actually take pictures with all of us on his iPhone so that he could remember us. It about broke my heart it was so sweet!
After the clinic with the kids we headed back to the mall we where at yesterday to kill a couple hours and have lunch. I can't remember if I mentioned it beforehand but half of this mall is a mega church so I made that a priority to go and see. I come to find out it is the biggest church in SouthEast Asia which is pretty crazy! The auditorium sits 5,000 and they have more than one service. A big name pastor is in charge of this church and it also is called Solid Rock. Kinda ironic if you ask me. I at the moment can't remember his name but will be sure to mention it next time.
The last part of our day was probably the best. I probably will be saying this everyday from here on out but that is truly the case. To keep you entertained with the blog experience I am splitting this post up into two because there is so much to share. Let's just say if God where to call me to Singapore I wouldn't complain :) Till next time
