God is sooo good! Up to the week before we left, we still hadn’t found a car to use. (we had prayed, and prayed for a car…but still nothing)

Finally a friend & supporter emailed & offered us… her TRUCK!.. a Land Cruiser! for our use throughout our time there!

God answered… not in the way we pictured it… instead it much ‘bigger’ (literally) than we pictured… =) hee.hee!

Land Cruiser wow!

another picture of our little snack outing!

I took Josh to the famous Cheesecake Factory.. for a afternoon snack. it was a delightful time… esp. when Josh proclaimed all of a sudden…

“This is the greatest day..”

It brought a big big smile to my face…
… and warmed my heart!

Yesterday got to try my favourite Pho (Vietnamese noodles) And Josh loved it too! esp. the beef meat balls!

We would have gone to our old favourite place Kim Loan (a Viet restaurant tt Lil & I frequent when we here in LA fr ’94 to ’97) but it was a little too far from where we’re stayin’ now. =)

have u ever been hit by the ‘sleepies’?
this strong physical feeling of wanting to lie down and shut your eyes..
and nothing seem to be able to distract you from wanting to just sleeep!

well, Josh & I were hit with a strong dose of that after our 20 hour flight from Singapore to Los Angeles. By afternoon (LA time) it was like in the middle of the night in our body clock. So he literally just knocked-out. Nothing could wake him, even though we moved him from the car seat, to the sofa, and back to car seat.

And last night, I woke up at 2:50am, and thankfully could fall asleep after 30mins. But woke up again at 6am. Hopefully, we’re done with sleepies.. I’m quite fresh now, but Josh is taking a nap. So we’ll see.

Happy 9th Anniversary!

Hi Darling!

I was writing the other email half way when I stopped to go and
eat the cake. It is soooo yummy! I know Josh would have loved
it! THanks da!

Forgot to tell you this in the previous email.. hee!

Love you lots!!

DaDa

I’ve planned for these flowers & cake to be delievered to my wifey tomorrow… on our 9th wedding anniversary.

I’m sad I can’t be there… but i’m really lookin fwd to a holiday together in August! Yeah… that will be 1st time (in a long while) that we’ll be spending extended time together w/o the kids. =)

As we prepare to leave early Tuesday morning.. just have a couple of prayer requests..

• Pray for good bonding times with Josh. I’m really lookin fwd to exclusive father-son times. Josh has a voracious appetite in reading, and is curious about many things. I’m hoping to impart more life lessons to him even as he follows me around for ministry times.

• I’ll be speaking/sharing at 2 church services at my former church in Orange County. Pray for fruitful times of encouragement and fellowship as I re-connect with some of the church people. I desire to be a blessing in whatever way the Lord may choose.

Thanks for praying! =)

I’m headed off again.. this time to the U.S.
this is a rather unique trip for several reasons.

1stly, Joshua is coming with me. Yep, I’m taking my first-born to Los Angeles.. and I’m planning on a trip to Disneyland with him. Yeah! double-yeah for him! =)

2ndly, this trip is specifically for me to connect and catch up face-to-face with a few of my faithful supporters, many of whom have been part of our ministry team since we began serving the Lord 7years ago.

The last time I saw some of them was in year 2001!

I’m thankful for God’s provision of some cheap tickets, and I’m really looking forward to what God is going to do through our time there.
