of cracked heels, sprained ankle... and peeling skin...

Our mission team to Elblag...

These are what I ended up with - after a whole month in Europe... no thanks to walking culture-'re'-shock, desiccating weather... and an embarrassing affair of carelessly stepping out of the Elblag Baptist Church van in the dark with my wedges on...

Thankfully the peeling skin is now well - yaay to the superb white-grape-and-aloe-vera moisturizing lotion I purchased from the Roman Bath Museum. I am still waiting for the ankle to heal... and I know I should use the cream for cracked heels... (malasnya)

Nevertheless, all good memories stay. It has been a tiring month... but I did learn alot of new things.

The end of August is approaching quickly...and thus, I enter the final quarter of 2010 and the 3rd term of the seminary year. I am in dire need of meeting up with Dr. S. Tan (my academic dean) to discuss my practicum and to look into the possibilities of graduating next year instead of 2012 (I know it's kinda impossible, but if God wills... ) - Another 2 long years of student life on top of 5 years of med school and 1.5 years of seminary are kinda undesirable to me although the equipping is good... :P - I will also need to start working on the marriage (as in our married life) soon - this has got to be a ministry by itself, I really want to serve without being bogged down by assignments... and last but not least, I desire to work. Perhaps not as a pastor (definitely feel uncomfortable if people were to call me pastor - or wear the blazer Peky joked that I would have to wear :P), although I may still be much involved in pastoral work and discipleship... but whatever that is in my heart right now... with all that God has placed in me.

This weekend, my hubby-to-be and I would be really busy with further renovation works to our apartment, a cg-member's house-warming party, banks, church duties... and as for myself, I do hope to be at least a little more productive with my assignments... *sheepish*
