Mission Trip to Cebu: Day 7 Chillin' at SM Seaside Mall & Hannah's Birthday Gathering

So Thursday was our last day in Cebu before flying off early Friday morning. There was no activity planned for the day except to go for a prayer meeting in a university which was somehow cancelled later on.

We had lunch at Max's Restaurant.

After lunch, we had our own free time to walk around. I took the opportunity to explore on my own as hubby stayed back at the hotel to rest.

Look what I saw? A Labrador in the mall with his handler:) I saw the Labrador from a far and decided to "run" so that I could get a pic of them.

I was told that I could view the sea from the top floor, so I made my way there. The weather was gloomy but I managed to get some shots.

While waiting for the rest to arrive......

Got back to the hotel and rush to prepare for dinner. We celebrated Hannah's birthday as well as her engagement to Ps Jon Lee.

By the time we finished our dinner, I was so exhausted. The lack of sleep for the last 6 days has begun to take a toll on me. The team was still super fresh and we still hanging out (saying goodbyes) to our Cebu friends at 10 pm. Adelynn, hubby and I decided to just walk to a nearby cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee (hot chocolate for me).

Got back to the hotel by 11 pm and managed to have a picture with Jackelyn and Kulas.

Our flight back to Cebu was the next day at 7 am. So with all the packing, I slept at 1pm and we woke up at 3 am to arrive at the airport at 4 am. So so tiring!

Was so good to be back home.

 So that's all the updates I have for our Cebu mission trip. It was a good experience and I learnt a lot.
For a person who needs 8 hours sleep per night, I prevailed through the entire trip, thank God.

Mission Trip To Cebu: Day 6 Project Greater Than, Yakski Barbeque & Prayer Meeting

Continuation from the last post...

Later that evening, we went to a government primary school in which we helped Gerry to distribute gifts to the children. Charlotte led the kids in the sing-a-long session which was really fun.

We went back to the hotel to rest before prayer meeting that night. Being so tired of going out for dinner, we decided to walk across our hotel to Yakski's Barbeque. I love pork bbq's!

After dinner, we went for prayer meeting. It was also a time for sharing our testimonies being here in Cebu. We were all blessed to be in Cebu and it was an eye opening experience for us. Thank God for the experience.

Mission Trip to Cebu: Day 6 Visiting Philippine Christian Gospel School & Cebu Technological University

We visited a private school called Philippine Christian Gospel School (Kian Kee) that Wednesday morning. The school had 2 chapel times, one from 9 - 9.45, and one 10 - 10.45 am. So the earlier slot are for the older students, while the later slot are for the younger ones.

Henry and I shared our testimonies, while Angeline shared a short message.

After chapel time, the principle Wanda invited us for lunch  The lechon manok was superb!

Over in the afternoon, we visited Cebu Technological University. We managed to pray for some students. We met one girl who sitting alone by herself. We found out that she had been praying for God's direction and when we approached her, it was like her prayers were being answered. Amazing right!

Mission Trip to Cebu: Day 5 Ladies Cell Group at Angela's

That night, the guys had a basketball competition while the girls minister to different cells. Charlotte, Angeline and Shu Yi had their cell at Jollibee (ya..again). Adelynn and I were taken by surprise when Ia brought us to Angela's house for cell.

It was even more heartwarming when we found out that they cooked for us. So imagine, after several days of restaurant food, home-cooked food is like heaven. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the hospitality.

Ladies in action!

So-so good!

Missing the tuna pasta even right now...

When Angela brought out the rendang her mom cooked.......

Dessert..

Truly one of the most memorable cell ever. These amazing girls and their testimony shows how much God is so present and real in their lives. I thought that I am there to give, but didn't I know how much more I received from them. God is good!
