On Heylows. Erm Uncle, are we still going to have any gatherings
after the last Sunday School session? Kim . Dear
Kimberly, Cindy and all, YES. According to uncle V, we will have one on
Sunday Morning sometimes in September - we'll pray specially for your exams.
Uncle Michael Well, due to the Food Fair and other
reasons, the September gathering did not materialize… |
PMR
Exams was from 13th Monday to 17th Friday of October 2008….
Some
find it easy, some find it hard, some cannot put it away and still worry about
it….
Today’s gathering saw 2 new faces Anselina Crystal
Binti Cosmas,
and Felicia Anak Oder
both friends of Joanne Lim, Form 3 St Teresa’s School.
Felicia is baptized and confirmed while Crystal has not been baptized. They are
invited to join FFC next year.
Uncle V: OK
LET’S START, How’s PMR?
Response: Easy…
Hard… Cannot forget…
Uncle V: You
cannot undo the past, what is past is past. You have to look forward.
Uncle Michael: OK, PMR is over, do you know that Uncle Harry sitting at the
back there went to Mass every day and pray for you during PMR? Do you know that
Uncle Michael went to Church to pray for you everyday?... It is time to pray
for other people, do pray for people sitting for Form 5 and Form 6 Exams…
Praying for other people is good, because we get double blessings, first God
will answer your prayer on the persons you prayed for, and God will bless you
because of your generous heart….

Uncle V tells of he saw at healing session at Mt
Hosanna…
Fr Richard Khoo taking “things” out of a person and
throws them in a bucket…
Uncle Michael shares what he saw at healing sessions
at Mt Hosanna…
Fr Richard Khoo “operates” on person just like in
One time an “inset” flew out of the mouth of a person,
the helpers rushed to the windows to close the windows so that the “insect”
won’t escape, but they did not manage to catch it! Aunty Eileen could see the
healing hand of Fr Khoo changed to that of Jesus’
Another time, we saw a man piggybacked his wife
(presumed) up the Jacob’s ladder to reach the Chapels of Mt Hosanna, she was
unable to walk for many years, after Fr Khoo prayed over her, he asked her to
walk alone the aisle of the Church, she did! And she actually walked down the
100-steps Jacob’s ladder, the man told us it was “unbelievable” that she could
walk on her on!
As for the activities coming up, Uncle
Michael said that Christmas Caroling is one of the most enjoyable activities,
you will have good memories of it as you
bring good news to people, sharing Christmas joy.
So, what are going to do during the long holidays?
Nothing, sleep, play, go holidays…
I work! Clarissa exclaimed!
Ya? Where?
At a pet shop.
Oh, uncle didn’t know there is a pet shop around,
where?
Some where at Satok.
Oh, Ok, how much they pay you? RM20 a day?
No, RM10 a day from 10am to 5pm….
After the gathering we had a simple lunch at Hai Pa
Wang restaurant nearby,
Betty, mother of Alyssa Goh joined us for the lunch,
she also decided to bring the family to the advent pilgrimage to Mt Hosanna on
22-23 November, wonderful, this Christmas is going to be very memorable for
many people…. What she wants is healthy activities for the children, well this
is one healthy activity for the children and their family and as a follow-up of
the LSS, part of their Faith formation.
By coincidence we met Fr Adriana Tiong who is also at
the restaurant have lunch with some teachers.
Well young people, our next youth gathering will be a
very special one – in the Kampung at Sri Aman!
See you there.
Uncle Michael
