It’s takes alot of discipline to update continuously
Yesterday was quite a packed day for us. We started the day with a filling breakfast. We are now more cautious of what we eat. In Singapore, we tend to have alot of excess. When it comes to food, we normally have more than what we need. However, the team here is very thrify in what they spend and what they eat. They were so surprised when JH and I finished up their milo in 4 days. I think it normally take them weeks to finish. We were joking that Cindy counted every egg in the fridge and even named each of them
Jokes aside… I learn not to take things for granted
The team here works hard to earn a living and to grow a church. The cost of living is relatively high here thus they have to be thrify and learn to live simply.
We met Pui See to visit one of the top university in Chile on top of a hill. Pui See lectures in this school. You can see a drastic difference in the living condition of the people living below and the top of the hill. Those living below are very poor people whereas the university on the top of the hill is mainly for the rich. In contrast, the univserity looks beautiful and the carpark is filled with expensive cars. The students are well dressed, owns laptops and well off. On the bus back from the uni, the 3 of us sat separated as we wanted to invite people to the Singapore event. Pui See got to know a girl, Karen who can speak English and interested to learn about the Bible. She may be able to join us for CG on Monday! Pray for her.
Oh I found a spanish school! I’m so excited to learn Spanish again. All the people speaks Spanish here and I feel so handicapped not being able to speak and being understood! Being a “Sang”, its terrible
My lessons will start on Monday so hopefully I can improve on my Spanish drastically. Interestingly a few Chileans told me that the Chileans speak the worst Spanish. They tend to use slangs, speak very fast and eat up their words. They say that this is the worst place to learn Spanish. How encouraging! On a positive note, they say that if I can understand them, I can understand anyone who speaks spanish
We spent the night preparing for the Singapore event. We prayed for the people who were coming and the event. Then Pui See and I fried all the food for the next day. I have not cooked so much stuffs in my life
It was a fruitful session with her nevertheless. She shared with me about the situation over here and the need to have a strong walk with God. She has the gift of intercession and you can see her burden for the Chileans when she prayed. We finished frying the stuffs at about 3am and we were concussed by then. It was a fruitful day nevertheless!

Hola Ee Lee, this is Karen (aka Jiexian) from ng6c3. I got your blog from Terry.
It’s great to hear stories about your life in Chile. Pray that you would get use to life there soon and learn spanish fast. I learn some spanish from Terry’s class. But I think I am still quite “rusty”. Haha, I also want to brush up. I am sure God would help you to master the spanish language in no time. Wah, soon you would be able to preach in that. Jiayou! Do let us know what prayer points you and your team have. We would keep you in prayers.
