Well I got back to Hong Kong on March 17th. Being home was great! I was home for almost six weeks. I got to see a bunch of friends and family! I also got to talk at two churches, two youth groups, and a prayer meeting. I drank Mountain Dew almost everyday and got all the western food I could think of! I was sad to leave again but I knew it was time to come back.
Since then I have been working at the base here doing different jobs. While I was in the states I got my drivers license renewed and so now I can drive here again! I know it doesn't seem right being from a place that drives on the right side normally. I enjoy driving and if i didn't drive here then I wouldn't drive for a year at a time! This last week I went two times and both those times the person I was picking up didn't show! lol well the first one missed the flight and the other was coming in the next day! ha
As soon as I got back I was put to work with five other guys to help get a large tree stump out of the ground! Yes I was considered "one of the guys" after this project! We recently cleared out an over grown part at the base and put cement over half of it. We put the wash line there. In order to get it to this point we had to get a stump up and out! not easy when the roots are mixed with cement blocks. For that reason we couldn't just use the saw. It took a week to get it out! After taking an axe to it, we had four of us pulling a rope that was wrapped around it and two guys pushing it from the other side!
This year is the 50th anniversary of YWAM. So our founders, Loren and Darlene Cunningham, are coming to our base to celebrate! It is over a three day period starting in a few days. The base is busy getting ready for that right now.
One of out schools (DTS) is going on outreach very soon! they will be gone for two months. It will be really quiet around here for a while...
