February + March




Sorry but it's been a busy month and I couldn't find time to update.  I can't believe I only have 1 month left here in Victoria.  As much as I like my job here, I miss home, I miss family, I miss friends, and I miss Vancouver.  It was fun and exciting to be here at first, but one can only go for so long being away from loved ones.  Summer is just around the corner and I'm really looking forward to spending it back on the mainland.  Here are some photos from the past month:

Dimsum with the family in Vancouver

Cherry blossoms out already in Victoria!

My workplace

Beautiful 360 degree view from Mount Doug!

Amazing sunset

Cecilia and James, my landlord's kids who took me around town.  They take good care of me

Precious prayer time with my vital companion Joe Yu from Irvine!

Special visit from my 2 best friends from kindergarten, Kam (left) and Andrew (right)

We had 3 fun filled days together.  I bought ingredients for cashew chicken hoping to cook for them, but Kam took over the kitchen and did it all.  He's a professional chef


Some recent enjoyment in the Word:

Matthew 9:13, "But go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice...'"
Sacrifice is something we do for God.  Mercy is something that God does for us.  Before we do anything for the Lord, we need to receive His supply.  Self-righteous men do not like to receive mercy or grace from God; they prefer to give something to God.  This is contrary to God's economy.  Just as God desires to show mercy to pitiful sinners, so He wants us to show mercy in love to others.  O Lord, keep us open to Your mercy all the time.

Please keep in touch with me during my last month and I can't wait to see you all soon
