I am in awe of God’s many mercies.

Hillsong Conference
(latest thanksgiving updates)

1) Our tickets are confirmed. We check- in on June 28 for a 1230am flight and we’ll probably arrive at 950am, June 29, in Sydney. We return on July 10 at 545pm. The most amazing part of this entire deal is that we’re travelling by Singapore Airlines! At an incredible price of $784 (including taxes & visa)! Without this promotion, we could have to pay something like $1,200? That’s a huge saving of over 35% which is pretty hefty if you look at it.

2) To take part in this promotion, we had to leave earlier than intended. We now have an extra week in Australia before the conference instead of the planned week after. With that extra week, we intended to go to Melbourne but then accommodation would be a headache.

As we were discussing this issue, it occurred to Val that we could go to Sydney and stay with a couple who was in our YA earlier this year. They’ve migrated there and on hearing that we were coming to Sydney offered to open their house to us! So we’re going to give Melbourne a miss but that gives us more time to go look around Sydney and really enjoy the company of good friends and the place!

3) This happened in early April but its worth mentioning again. We’ve got the billeting option, meaning our accommodation for the entire conference (4-8 June) is settled for A$100! Plus, it’s a homestay so we get to experience life with an Australian family. The last time I went to Korea, I bunked in with a sweet Korean family and I found out so much about life there so I’m super excited to be able to do the same thing this time! Furthermore, we were afraid that we may be housed separately, so we requested to stay together and they readily agreed!

I’m so exciteedddddddddddddddddddddddd … Heee! I can’t wait to go. Australia is my most favourite foreign country in the whole world!

Ever since deciding to set aside some bad attitudes I had at work, I’ve been able to cope with work better! Sometimes, it isn’t that the work is difficult or too much, it’s just that I’ve allowed my inadequacies to hinder me from working more effectively.

Praise God too! I’ve managed to squeezzeeeeee 6 hours of work into just the first 3 days of this week. I usually produce 6 hours a week. It is quite a heavy load, but the sense of achievement is wonderful! Aiming to finish 2 weeks worth of work every week so that I can handle the increase in workload in the middle of June all the way till I get back from Sydney.

Yippey yai yayyyy!
