Misericordia Campo or Campamento de la misericordia

*edits*

Yours truly was away since thursday till yesterday night. Was away for mercy camp.. Not really far away. I camped in church together will the other friends. Sleep on the floor without my bolster and pillows, taking turns to use the toilet ( pestering each other to be faster ) etc etc.

First day was briefing then team building activities (games and making posters) and also group processing time.






I thought it was all good for the first day.

Now, by 12 everyone supposed to be asleep dy. But normal la, most of the people stayed up.
To talk of course. And talked and talked and some slept at 3 and the next morning we're supposed to be awake by 7. I can't tahan la. By 2 am I already retired to sleep.

So yeah, next day my team supposed to prepare breakfast. Woke up at 6.45 after finishing washing up and devotion. Headed to sanctuary to prepare some milo. Took sometime la kan. :x
After breakfast, we had a short time of worship then it was session time.

Overall, I think all the sessions were great though it was actually tough to stay through. I guess everyone was sleepy cause everyone stayed up (which is not really wise actually). I was struggling to focus too. Must thank God a lot that I at least got something from each session.

So anyways, A. Moi Lee spoke about relationship while U. Choow Huat spoke about shame and U. Pax Tan about community. Some practical stuff and some theory. Best part was of course applying whatever we've got from them on Saturday (yesterday).

And something happened during night time.

We're supposed to do a short skit for in link with our posters for the creative prayer tomorrow (yesterday). My team was the first to finish the posters which means we have more time to practice. However, we we're slacking most of the time. And when we settled down to discuss, we couldn't make up our mind and we keep switching plans.

For the first time, after a very long time. I was frustrated. Why can't things be done? I asked myself. But after awhile I realized, it's not about the doing. Not just doing just to complete a task. It's more than that. More than just doing for the sake of completing a task given. It's the heart behind all the doing. And I'm sorry to all the members in my team. I guess I wasn't being so nice for being in the state of emo(ment) instead of being more positive.

But anyways, everything turn out well yesterday. For the truth, I never fancied being a leader la. Always kind of reluctant whenever I have to lead. I seriously would like to be a follower than a leader. Never was "my thing". And I think I suck at leading la :x

But all glory to God that everything was well. The creative prayer different that what I expected. It was all good I guess. *smiles*

Then finally it was the moment I waited most! Street feeding at Pudu. But before that there was some disappointments cause we waited for quite long before we could go to the actual place. We were waiting for 40 minutes for the people from YWAM to bring us to the place. Was quite impatient already la :x




After quite some time, we were finally there! We were expecting drug addicts but turn out it was mostly people from the streets. The most dominan group was the old folks.




It was a great experience to come here. Watching people with their true self.
I must admit I can't decide whether the people was cute or quite fussy. I guess both but that's what makes them so special. They're just like kids being very honest with you and not afraid to be who they are here. From the way they talk and what they do, you'll know that they're suffering out there and they're thankful at least they can come here to eat and to fellowship with the others.

Never regretted coming out of the comfort and to come to this street feeding. At least I was able to see what is it really like to be on the streets with all the other people who's so hungry and got nothing to eat. And of course some extra incidents that makes this trip more juicy Haha. Like what happened to our dear leader, Joseph (AHEMMMM) and also about the drunken man pouring drinks on Hannah and me and Poh Ling kena a little also.










I guess it was all good and we all learnt a lot.
Thank God for all that He's done in this camp and that the real challenge is here now :
To keep the piece of heart that God has given to us.

There is more to come!!
