Things happened

 Recently, I got the chance to meet with a brother who just came back from Africa after 2 years missionary there.

The evening of Jan 17... I was baking at home.. it's almost 7 o'clock...  I had been thinking to go to Restoration Worship.. I missed the the one in Dec which I planned to go as well..  so I thought I really wanted to go the this one..  but at that moment, I came to struggle . whether I should go to Restoration Worship? or stay home to finish my bread? ..My mind said, "you have wanted to hear from God, maybe if you go, you can hear tonight. isn't that what you want?"  My mind said, "when you struggle about whether you should do something or not.. that means you don't really want to do it.. why force yourself to do something you don't wanna?"... My mind said, "you should do what you should do.. "..... haha... very funny conversation going on in my mind..  at the same time, my body also told me that I would like to stay home that night... ... at the end, I decided to give myself some time alone.. with myself and bread... and .. .maybe Him.

Around 9 o'clock, I took my bread out of the oven .. as I put away the mitten... my cell phone rang.  I was so surprised!  It was Albert calling me. (Albert from Enoch)  I thought to myself.. something up with Enoch?? but he's not working there any more... mmm...  I answered the phone and we greeted each other (me with much surprise).  He sounded really excited to tell me about something but not about Enoch.  He told me that there's a brother who came to his church to give a testimony that afternoon..  The brother just came back from Africa.. In the past 2 years, he (who used to be a consultant in the computer industry) served as a baker in a ship in some part of Africa ...  Albert said he thought of me and he really would like to introduce this brother to me even though it's also his first time meeting this brother.. He would like me to have a chance to meet this brother in person too...
 
so... this brother is only staying in Canada for a month..  he will stay in Vancouver for 2 weeks...  after that, he will go to Germany to pursue baking..  I really had the doubt we would be able to meet up.. considering the schedule I had and probably his since he's visiting..  At the end, after couple of rearrangements we made it. 

... what did we talk about during the meeting?
 to be continued.

Now, time for work!
