a climbing wall in a mall???

Hello everyone,

This is my first blog of my last month on
the World Race. AHHHH, it is so
weird. 

Month 11.

 

Here is a quick list of whatTeam Tandem has been up to
thus far in Malaysia:

–         
– Organized activities for the
children here at the home

–         
– Attended Deepavali festivals

–         
– Attended a charity banquet
which included live music, a magic show, a 9 course meal and more.

–         
– Helped out with ‘shrink art’ and a bouncy castle at a
Little India Carnival

–         
– Spoken at cell groups and led
devotionals

–         
– Been to prayer meetings, church
meetings, one of which had 2000 people

–         
– Cleaned, organized and recorded

–         
– Evangelism (which has been fun and once included us washing dishes at a random restaurant!)

–         
– Served at a drop-in centre and
needle exchange program

–         
– Coordinated a youth meeting

 

As we have been travelling around KL
ministering in various locations and to various people I have seen how
important the various types of ministry are.  We’re in the big city, familiar
with the LRT and monorail transportation systems and feel like we know the place!  It’s amazing how quickly we call the place we are in “home.”  It only takes less than a day for me to adjust and feel comfortable and settled in my new found home!  KL has only been my home for a couple of weeks but I feel like I’ve lived here for a while 🙂

 

We leave our ministry at the beginning of
next week and then we will be having debrief with the whole squad to process
the World Race before we go home. We
arrive back in the States on November 19^th. I will be arriving back home to NS on December 15^th. 

I look forward to coming home but as I
think about leaving this crazy year I get upset and I know it will be a huge
change and will take a lot of processing when I get home. 

Alright, I know this was just a little
update…but I hope to write another one soon.
