SOLF Church Retreat 9-12 Apr 2009

We had a wonderful time in Malacca for the church retreat from 9-12 apr. Daniel and Maureen are the organisers for this year's retreat and it was very well organised. The hotel is beautiful and most of our rooms were facing the sea. It was quite a leisure trip and God's presence could be felt. The sharing sessions was very touching as most members shared how they came to know the Lord and their personal experiences, struggles etc.

Paul and myself had very good rest most nights and he was not hooked up to the milk most of the time except when we were in our room and at night and we tried manual feedings (it's known as "bolus feeding" medically) so that he can move around without restrictions. He had lost abit of weight which is kind of expected since he was not hooked up but it should be ok. We will try to fatten him up at home.

We are thankful that we are able to attend this retreat as it not only gives us a very good short break, it also strengthens our faith as we listened to so many testimonies. God is truly gracious to us esp to paul and i'm so glad that he shared his feelings with the brothers and sisters in Christ.

It is also our pastor and his wife, jenny's 42nd wedding anniversary today and we want to wish them many more happy years together and may God bless them richly in everything they do.
