Light after Darkness

Light after darkness, Gain after loss,

Strength after weakness, Crown after cross;

Sweet after bitter, Hope after fears,

Home after wandering, Praise after tears.

It was the day like light after Darkness. This Co. jamboree was the most exciting one so far. Of course I do not have to be upset too much, it gave delight 4 of us. Miss HT. has served jamboree more that I, but we were excited together after it overed.

It was very hot day. I went to wash our clothing to the coin laundry, and I can feel humid and hot weather. However, when the birthday party for one-year-old baby started, it began to rain. Sometimes there are a few children in party. There were a lot of children as much as I could not count them, today.

Danielle has got to join us. She came to Miss HT.'s office to just bring something to her roommate, but she went with us for face painting. She has been painted face painting throughout the party. Miss HT. led many children with some games. Miss L., Grace and I played the puppets and pleased children with balloons. We were perfect team because of the great response of children. I think we played all games we can figure out. It was lasted for 3 hours. It was awesome! We were tired and sweaty but smiling. The children's excitement was our joy.

As for me, it was the first day that I talk to Miss HT and L. in English 'comfort'. Before that, I could speak a lot to them but being tensed was unavoidable. I wanted have fellowship a lot with them, in truth, Gospel. Yet it did not be naturally and my English might have been 6 years old. Even I could worry about it easily, the Lord has led me to gaze Him more and more. He gave me comfort mind from the time that I rode in the car to go to the party place. He has made me command all burden unto Himself.

We had to make the jamboree long because the food was late, but it was not a hard working since the cute children. A boy came to Miss HT, and said. "Every game is very very fun!!". lol. How cute are those children!! After we arranged all stuff, we ate things a little bit for there were no more main menus. Everybody without us in the party was very hungry. Miss HT. asked us carefully whether or not we can be with them longer. She wanted to appreciate us. So we went to eat some dessert.

It was so good and fun. Miss HT. was made up of a clown, and we went to Macdonald's. We laughed in front of the gate because people would see her and be surprised. We prepared in our mind, and entered. All people inside looked at her and their eyes got big. So we laughed for 20 min.. I was so glad to just have another unexpected meeting together. We did not talk about not so important things, but we were getting to know each other. I trust that only getting to know would be encouragement for our faith.

I could talk with her about her mother and the closest friend who passed away on the way to school again. God has done it all. It needed patience many times to hold jamboree everytime, and sometimes I could not know what was going on even I was with them in jamboree together. It would be not the end and I would need patience more but I was so glad and excited. I praise God for His answer. As I told to Miss HT, I hope it would be real help for the kingdom in them.
