It's been 3 years I haven't been to Teresa's farmland, the God Grace Garden, 3G in this name means the Trinity. everything's so meaningful to her.
We planed to leave by 7:30am from the South Cathedral, but since somebody were late so we at last left by 9am! But everything was fine on the way, we arrived by 10:30am.
After we arrived we started our activity, we firstly introduced ourselves, I was the translator and the guitar player. all of us enjoyed so much of the activity. I even translated the songs into Chinese version! Haha!
After few talks it comes the lunch time. after lunch was 3 talks again, when I feel tired, I give floor to Kevin, to let him help me on translation. He's so kind lah!
About 5:30pm, we started our game time, the first one was blind folded team game led by the leader to overcome some obstarcles, and the second & third game were about passing balloon games. The fourth game was the hardest and the most interesting one, heaven and earth, we have to group by team to pass the rings, no touching the rings, otherwise the whole group will play it all over again, it's quite hard, and we tried our best to do it, by helping each other and great team work spirit, we hold each other to the other side, or some brothers offered their back for others to step on through.
The session was wonderful. After playing the games we started our barbeque dinner. I drunk a bottle of wine coz my tablets made me don't want to eat anything. but I was wrong because of the wrong place drinking:-p, although I will never get drunk in few bottles, but it's not the right place to drink alcohol.
Later came the time of performance. I was also translating, and I sang a song with my guitar, some people danced. Later there was the last game, Christ's light. we had to protect our candle's light from some people that intended to blow it off. If it's off we had to enlighten it again from the main candle. I was cheating, haha, because I had a lighter:-p
Then the first day was finished, we came to the next day.
On the next day we also started with 3talks, by Gary, Kevin and Erik. I was translating for Gary and Erik...Gary's semi Chinese~English talk made me almost crazy...haha, but it's quite interesting an experience:-p Kevin talked great about faithfulness and order-would be a hard topic for me-then was the time we committ to the Lord, we drawed our feet onto a color paper, and wrote on it our committment, cut it and post it onto the board shaped like a mountain. We loved it so much. Later...I got alot of love notes! Oh, I mean the note of appreciation. I was so moved by their lovliness. At last was the picture time and lunch time. Later we finished completely.
On the bus, Onell reminded me the birthday of Fr.John...I was so bad, I almost forgot his birthday! How could be?! He's my best priest friend!
I drawed a card for him on the way, for everybody to sign on it. I love the card, because I thought it's quite beautiful!
Later we came to the south cathedral and we started our Mass, I read the first reading and the Psalm. Maiya read the second reading, we all came onto the altar coz we're few, and I played guitar during the Mass-I found it's almost impossible to play guitar without amplifyer in the church, sound goes slowly-but everything was fine! We had our holy communion of bread and wine！
I enjoyed so much of the Mass and at last we celebrated birthday for Fr.John with a cake in the church yard.
