Mom told me that I got some messages on the phone.I checked the voice messages, I got one message from Sister Kathie.I called her back,but she didn’t answer me.I left a message and left my cellphone no.
Later on,when I was making Nastar ( Keke's order to bring to Batavia,Slumber Party at Nia's house ),she called me.She said on Sunday,there’s Intl Mission in Children Sunday School.She wanted me to talk abt Indonesia.By telling the kids about Indonesians,the cultures,the Christian lives there,would enrich the kids’ knowledge abt other nations.
I prepared my stuff on Sunday morning.I took out my Ulos, Indonesian cooking book,Alkitab ( Bible) and brought a box of Indomie.
When I was there,a British lady was introducing abt British cultures.
Then,I was invited to introduce abt Indonesia. I was so happy!!!
Long time ago,before I came here,I used to be a Sunday School teacher.I taught kindergartens and teenagers.When I saw the kids, I felt like I was doing ministries at my own church in Medan.
I started introducing the map of Indonesia ( some kids don’t know where Indonesia is. )….poor me…. Hehehehhehehe. Then,I showed them the Bataknese outfits. I asked some girls to come to the stage,and tried them on.One girl named Jade said, “ I love these outfits!!!”
Later, I called boys to come forward.I put him a hat,named GOTONG and ULOS to other boy. They laughed and said,” Woww..I do look good in this!! “.
The next thing was, I shared them some Nastar and gave them one each.They loved them!!! Is it all ?? No…no…no…. I took my box of Indomie and said,” This is noddles from Indonesia.I’ll give you one each.But,if you can read my Bible in my language, I’ll give you double.”
One kid said, “ Alkiteb”, the other said,” Alkitab!!” and other one said,” Alkita “. Hehehehhehe. I gave double noddles to the 2 kids. I left the rest of the noddles in the church. When I was done, Jade told Noei,” I wish she didn’t leave.” Hahahhahahahaha.We laughed,and I said,” I am here every Sunday,Jade.” She came to me and said,” Can I have a pic with the outfits?I love them!!! “. Oh well, yes,for sure.When the service was over, I took her to another room and took a pic of her. She’s cute!!!!!!!!!!!
Lil American - Bataknese girl!!!
I told Ronnie,”She’s a lil blond Bataknese girl!!! ^______^ . Her grandma laughed.
Thank you to Sis Kathie and Noei for giving me a chance to share with the kids. I loved doing that. May God Bless You!!!!!
