How time flies! In just a blink of an eye, we have stayed in Teluk Intan for a year. I could still remember last year around this time, we were busy packing up. And now looks like we need to start the process all over again.
During the past one year, Andrew and I have grown to love the people in TI. Though I do not mingle around much and my time spent there is very limited, I love the small town friendliness and simplicity. We will definitely miss the church members from TI. Andrew always commended them as the most supportive leaders.
I recalled early this year, Chong Ho and his wife has treated us with a steamboat dinner in their home. I was pregnant then, thus very selective with my choice of food. But I had such a lovely time enjoying the soup. It was as though I have not have such a good meal for a long long time. Hmm, I miss the taste of the soup till this day.
As for Elyse, I guess she would missed her Sunday School teacher, Mrs Kerk, dearly. She single-handedly impart knowledge to these young ones week after week. Her dedication and commitment is truly amazing. Throughout this year, the greatest achievement of all is, Elyse is able to memorise her very first memory verse: Is anything too hard for the Lord? Genesis 18:14
Elyse is also very close to an old couple in the church, Uncle and Aunty Loh. Uncle Loh is the oldest church member yet he is still strong and healthy. This wonderful couple stays in the same housing estate as us. They visited us frequently and bought lots of chocolates and ice cream for Elyse.
Whereas for Erwyn, he's too young to have any memories in this beautiful town. But he is indeed loved by many. Every Sunday, he is surrounded by his admirer and many of them take turns to carry him and take photographs of him. A little celebrity, don't you think?
Farewell, Teluk Intan. You will always be part of our memories. God in His appointed time has brought us together. And now as we say goodbye, we will always remember you.
