Okie, last Friday, Hoffnung Stuttgart had a trip to Eglofs. Around 25 of us went. We departed from Stuttgart at 18:30 (GMT +1) and reached at around 21:40. Despite some had unforseen circumstances, we all reached safe and sound.

The sunset on the way... Nice?

Me with my new sunglass. Another is coming... But don't know why it took soooooo long. Orange lens. Can't wait =P

On the way petrol not enough, so Jia Jin and Daniel Kopf went for petrol, left me and Yun at a small junction. I took some photos:

Flower; Blume, 花，bunga, 꽃의, flor, цветокv, fleur

A small stream of life.. How wonderful is our God's creation?

Familienferiendorf EGLOFS - Means family holiday stay Eglofs.


Then we had some midnight BBQ then had a short Praise and Worship session. and we all went for bed, since everyone was tired.

The next day (Saturday), we woke up and had an one-hour preach from founder of Hoffnung Deutschland (Hope Germany) Pastor Markus Rose. It talked about being a leader of a care-group. After that we prepared ourselves and went for canalling (izzit spelled like this?) at Bodensee. Haha... I've been back to Konstanz twice already. We reached destination in 30 minutes.

My boat =)

My boatmate and me. Poor him, he's tensioned throughout the 3 hours to make sure I'm alive - I can't swim >.< Thank you for willing to accompany me, Marthias =)

Other church members...

Yong and Tobi =)

We are not superman. Thus after a tiring boat-ing, we went up shore and had some rest... Played the famous BIG-2 with Yong and Yi. Took some pictures of surrounding...

big Big BIg BIG tree~

Reapply my sunblock.. Yi gave me too many, and turned out to be a clown =)

We then continue back as the time was almost 15:00. On the way back we saw a speedboat coming towards us. I thought to take photos because it looked so super cool. But in the end...

It was the Polizei - Police. He asked us not to boat within 50m from the shore. @,@ I thought he wanted to give us a "prize" =.=

Before we went back, we played 2 team-chemistry required game. First one is this: 4 person walking together with both legs tied to 2 sticks.

This giant is too tall for this? =P

Guess who won? ~My team~

The next game was a concentration and cooperation game where all the 8 members must place 2 fingers each to hold a stick together. We must coordinate together to put down the sticks and everyone's finger must touch the stick, else game is restarted. It was tough, and we unabled to do it. It really needs team spirit. Guess we all need to learn more.

But throughout the day no accident happened and the weather was very very good! Praise the Lord for His blessings! We all had a wonderful time =)

We went back and had our second preach by Pastor Markus. It was the continuation of the first one in the morning. Aww... I did not make notes. Want to get it from my church members. It is very important, for me.

Night time, we played football with the kids who stayed there too. It was fun, and some of the kids are good. Had fun. Then we went for BBQ again. Ha ha. Learned how to make salat from Jia Jin. LoL.

That night, he gave me a Bible verse. A very powerful and suits me a lot:

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
2 Timothy 4:12

I will live a life with the five life-driven purpose. This July will be the start. I am ready for it. I will work hard. I will do it. I will not let you look down on me anymore. God, let me. God, I pray for your strength to overcome everything.

Anyway, the next day we woke up, had breakfast and at 10:00 we departed back to Stuttgart for Sunday service. It was tiring, but fun. I enjoyed a lot.

Run this race, I will.

Finish this race, I will.

Deep in my heart the fire is burning strong.
