One thing I must do this month is visit MV Doulos. am not sure if many of you have been there but fyi, the ship has arrived. If I'm mistaken, they arrived on the 10th of December but opened its doors on the 11th of December, they will be departing on the 2nd of January. Finally after 7 long years, they are finally here again :) can't wait to make my visit there.
Actually, I was not aware that the ship had already arrived until I met Won, a nice young man who's serving the Lord on the ship, @ The Spring. He was helping out in the selling of cookies, muffins and more for the Breakthrough stall (which intends to help the less fortunate - do buy to help them out alright - the muffins are yummy!) situated right beside Sushi King. Anyways, after sharing with us how he got to serve in the ship, he offered to host us. for a tour! :) yay! haha XD
it's been a while since I've been into the ship, and like I said..after 7 long years. With the ship being here and all, it sure does bring back sweet childhood memories, with all the activities held on board - what I got to experience. sure was swell. Well, mum knew and knows a few people on board as she crew when the ship ported in 1987, when I was about 7 months old. so yeah..that's how I got to go into the ship the last time. cos she had connections. haha.
