One Journey Ends....Another Begins....
One Journey Ends.....Another Begins.....
Well, another school year is just around the corner, and with my internship over, I am now on my way back to Pensacola, Florida for my Senior year!!! Hurray!
But this journey back to Pensacola will not be a quick one....yes, Praise to the Lord I will be having a little vacation touring more cities and visiting family! No.....sadly I will not be stopping by Houston before school, but it's OK since I hear the weather has been kind of hot there anyways! :) (Not to say, I do miss my family and wish I could have seen them - which will happen at the perfect time.)
Currently, I am visiting my Aunt Julie Telang in Detroit. We have had an amazing time touring the city of Detroit, where my Grandma Loo and Dad both grew up and lived for several years. I also had the privilege of going back up North to my Uncle Dinesh's cottage for two days. I went kayaking and also dirt biking!!!! What a blast that was! For the record, I am not a motorcycle lover, but dirt biking was awesome! Maybe I should give motorcycles a chance.....we'll see.
Just yesterday we went into Canada! Yes, it was my first time in Canada. It an amazing feeling to finally get to say that I have been to Canada.....never really thought I would get the chance since I am from Houston, Texas. But God does provide opportunities! Thank you Lord!
A highlight of my journey will definitely be my visit to Chicago, where I will be visiting more family as well as my sister Hannah Loo! Hannah works at the IBLP Headquarters in Chicago, so I will get to visit her work and ministry there in Chicago. I am greatly looking forward to spending some time with my sister and extended family in Chicago, as well as tour this famous US city. Please pray for traveling safety!
Finally, before arriving back to Pensacola, my friend Slava Kretsu and I will be driving down to Nashville, Tennesee, to visit and see some Ukrainian and Russian friends and their families.
Lord willing, I should arrive back at PCC on September 1st. Praise God for His marvelous provision and blessings! Thank you for your prayers and support!

Goodbye Summer Internship!
Goodbye Summer Internship!
Is it really August 24th already??? Wow! How fast time has gone by! Truly it seems like just yesterday that I arrived to Michigan for my summer internship, and now it is passed and a memory of the past. However, the experiences and lessons I had and learned this summer will have lasting influence on my future ministries and opportunities.
The Parent's program on August 7th was an outstanding success! We were so blessed by the great attendance of most of our Day camp/Daycare parents, families, and friends. The program itself featured numerous presentations by each class and age group of children. We had songs, scripture memory recitation, skits, awards, and special speaking. I was very proud of my students and their amazing presentation! They had worked so hard all summer and it sure paid off. Our stage decoration (the castle) turned out fantastic and really added to the success of the night. The children's art work, crafts, and class projects were creatively displayed for the guests and families to observe and admire. The reception/dinner that followed the program was excellent as well. The table decorations were homemade sand castles that Mrs. Brown made. It was so exciting to see the families eating and talking with one another! Overall, I praise the Lord for making this special evening a great success. I was very tired after it was all done, but what a blessing it was to be a part of this great ministry!
The two weeks that followed the Parent's program went by really fast. Besides continuing with our regular daily schedule, I was busy organizing and cleaning out the stage and classroom I used this summer. It was bitter sweet to have to clean up my classroom - as I spent numerous hours in it making wonderful memories with my students. When it was all cleaned out, I took a moment to look into it one last time and what a feeling of accomplishment I felt as I closed the door one final time. The castle I built is now being stored up in the storage closet for a possible future use - a project I was very proud of and will never forget doing!
Goodbyes are never easy for me, but especially in places that I become a part of. This summer, I really became a part of this Day camp ministry. It was just as much my ministry as it is a First Baptist Church of Laingsburg ministry. Thus, as I prepared to go, I had to learn to think positively and cherish the memories versus the fact of leaving.
In addition, the church members themselves were so kind towards me on my last Sunday and Wednesday night services. I really enjoyed being the church pianist for the summer. Also, I was blessed to play my flute and sing for various specials this summer. They gave me a very generous love offering and I am very grateful. May God continue to bless First Baptist Church of Laingsburg!
My last day of teaching was Friday, August 19th. It was hard to say goodbye to all my students, but we enjoyed our last days together to the fullest! I want to thank Pastor Brown, Pastor Yoder, and Mrs. Brown for allowing me to have this amazing opportunity this summer. They were wonderful people to work for. Also, to all my fellow teachers, especially Mrs. Simms, Miss Jenny, Miss Rachel, and Mrs. Marilyn, thank you so much for your support and encouragement all summer! And finally, to my wonderful hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, I cannot express my gratitude towards your fabulous hospitality. Thank you to all of you.
I already miss my time in Laingsburg even though a few days have passed. God truly blessed me with the best internship opportunity I could have had this summer! Thank you Lord for your powerful and marvelous work in my life! To all my Laingsburg friends and siblings in Christ, Thank you for a wonderful summer! God bless you all!
And finally, to all of you who have read this blog all summer and have encouraged me via e-mail, comments, or phone calls, thank you for your love and support! I greatly have been blessed by your prayers!
To God be the Glory!

Internship Update....
Internship Update....
Well, it's July 31st! So hard to believe that tomorrow begins August. Time has definitely gone fast this summer, but praise God for all the work He has done this summer so far!
The month of July for me was full of numerous opportunities. I continue to work with the Day Camp program for kids Monday to Friday. It has been such a blessing to see the children progress in their walks with the Lord and their diligence in learning their verses and songs. We have had a blast this month between various fun activities including going for ice cream on Fridays, playing on the water slide on Wednesdays, riding our bikes to the park on Thursdays, and preparing for our Parents' Program. That's right! Our Parents' Night Program is a week from today! August 7th at 6pm. The children have been working very hard to learn all their verses (Ephesians 6:10-17) and learn the six songs we will sing that night. They are very ready to perform for their parents and we are all looking forward to this special night.
Speaking of the upcoming Parents' Program, I have been very busy building a stage set for that night. Our theme this summer has been 'Warriors for Christ' with castles and armor. Thus, I have built a castle that runs the whole length of the church stage. It has been a lot of trial and error, but to the glory of God, it is all done! I had some of my co-worker teachers help me, as well as some of the guys from the church youth group. Between ladies buying plastic children's armor at garage sells and a young man collecting cardboard boxes for me from his work, the building of our stage has been a team effort! I can't wait to set it all up this coming Friday for our special night. We will also be having a short skit/drama about "A Day at Day Camp".
This month I also did other ministries at the church. I am the church pianist and have sang two specials - one a solo and one a duet with Mrs. Hicks. I also played a flute special the other day and have done some piano specials during offertory. I led the youth group meetings twice this month, as well as taught the teens' Sunday school class. I also taught in the Good News Club for Kids this past Wednesday night. We have also been going door to door passing out fliers for the upcoming Vacation Bible School program this week. Yes, indeed. This is going to be a busy week for me as I finish up the final preparations for our Day Camp Parents' Night Program, as well as help run the VBS and Teen Explosion (revival meetings along with fun activities) church events. I am in charge of the games for both the VBS and the Teen Explosion along with the assistant Pastor Yoder. It will definitely be long days this week, but Lord willing we will see souls won for Christ through these ministries.
Well, that gives a short update of my days here in Michigan. God has been so good to me this summer and truly blessed me with a wonderful opportunity to serve at the First Baptist Church of Laingsburg. The church has been so kind towards me and I have enjoyed getting to know the families better. I have about three weeks left, and I'm sure they will fly by very quickly. May all that is done be for the glory and praise of our Lord Jesus Christ!
