Easter Sunday and team debriefing

Waking up this morning, on Easter Sunday, in another country, is something I can say is a once and a lifetime opportunity. My Jesus is the same Jesus here. I am so overwhelmed by Gods love! We woke up this morning and had to say goodbye to Bobbie, what a great guy to meet. Before he left he shared with us why he exactly was back in the states instead of in Morocco. He will continuity be my prayers. I hope to visit him in Morocco someday. We finished devotions and Colossians 4. We then headed off to church!

Church was amazing this morning. I haven't mean to much Easter services in my walk but it was the first sermon I heard someone proclaim the Great Commission from Luke 24:44-49. To me the word spoke great to me because of our mission. To bring the Good News to the nations. The service was great minus the 15 minute prayer that almost everyone feel asleep during.

After church we headed to Marine Parade Community Club via taxi. It is a proven fact that if you are white and in another country, no matter if the taxi is empty, they will not pick you up. After a half hour we finally got a taxi and headed to the club to play.

Once we got to the club Dave shared with us that this was the club he played at while living in Singapore. Little did I know that one of Dave's good friends lived in Corvallis once upon a time and worked for HP and now is in Singapore. It was cool to meet him. We ended up winning our last game. It was sad to see it coming to an end.

We then headed back to Pasir Ris to shower and get ready to have dinner with YouthWorks. Dinner was amazing. The people I met on this trip were the sweetest and kindest people on earth. They gave us a gift that had a picture frame of the team with smaller pictures surrounding the main one. I will have that photo for a long time.

After dinner Dave got talked into letting us see the city one last time by Meng Kim. I haven't shared much about him during my blogs but feel free to ask me about him. He was one of the funniest people I met on this trip. What a nice guy too.

We then headed off to Marina Gardens to see the city, what a site to see!!!! If you've seen my Instagram already you know what I am talking about. At Marina Gardens he also showed us the bridge that divides the sea from the river. Singapore now has the technology to make its own water from rainfall and waste water. Something the country is really proud about. Behind the bridge they are building an underground highway that goes under the ocean and is a direct route from the airport to Marina Bay. I took down the name of the company and want to do some research. It is the engineer in me so who knows what might happen.

After seeing the city we headed back to Pasir Ris for another late night. Two team members finished sharing there testimony and we then had to do a Barnabas Circle, where everyone takes a turn saying something nice about you. We finished at two in the morning. Luckily I have one more day in Singapore so I can sleep in. Unfortunately that isn't the case for 5 members of the team. They will be up at 6 in the morning.

Tomorrow is my last day in Singapore. I don't know what I will do yet all I know is that Ryan, Nathan and I will make the most out of the day before I leave. Hopefully it involves some site seeing. We will have to wait and see. Until next time.
