Hi everyone, just like to update you all on what's happening in our lives. Raphael's started his post law studies and a new job at about the same time and I(Irene) will be starting a new job in two week's time. So, it's quite a transition for us. And I may have another personal offer, pending the interview this sat.
It's been a week of calls and getting with people and doing our best to love.
God encouraged us by having some of the people we've been reaching out to call us and saying 'hi when it should have been us calling first. It started with this couple who walked into church four months ago. They're David and Maryann. But they stopped coming two months ago as she has given birth to a baby girl. They've a 17 month old and 2 month old girl. Well, a month ago, I got a sms asking us how we are and so on. Well, you can imagine our shame. I felt convicted because I wasn't reaching out to them, thinking that some other x'tians were and so, I didn't call her at all. Well, since then, we've(Maryann and I) gone out with our girls twice and her husband has initiated a picnic with us. You can't say 'no' when a non-x'tian sets time with you. We decided that a picnic is not very feasible, so, it's dinner at our place this sat. They're a very nice couple; she's hungarian and he's malaysian chinese. He's doing his Phd and going to be a gynae at KK. Do pray for them. They like the church and amen to that.
And we also got with a couple (Sujoy and Sefali) last sunday cos they have marriage problems. I met up with the wife the next day and we did Proverbs 31. I believe one day they'll make it.
And I had another 2 surprise calls today. Will keep you all updated.
Our goal is to have an appointment/study with a couple a week during the campaign month. And we're grateful for the people God has put in our lives.
