Manon’s email! (met this lovely girl from Holland while queueing up for the toilet! I left her my email – and she replied back!)

“do you remember me? The girl you met while waitingfor the toilets during WYD. I waited for you a little while,but I couldn’t found you anymore.I hope you will receive this message and sent something back to me. How are you doing? Did you enjoyed your time over there during WYD?Is it already sure that you are going to London for your study? “

[okay, by the first para - I was so touched already. 1, she waited for me at the toilet! 2. She actually remembered that I tol dher I m going to London to study! And at that time when I told her, it was super noisy!]

“I’m back home for 2 days now, you are already a week or even more, didn’t you?It’s very weard to be back in my village. It looks like a very nice and long dream.I saw some pictures of me in the newspaper and I was on television sometimes veryquikley, that’s so awesome but unreal to.

After WYD we stayed with 500 Netherlands in SYdney for 2 days. Afterthat we travelled futher to Ballarat and stayed there in hostfamily’s.I stayed there with another girl of our group. The family was living on a big farm with 4000 sheep and 60 cows and a lot of land. They had 8 children,so there was always someone to talk with, very nice.We went a day to melbourne, saw a goldmine in Ballarat, and saw the 12 apostels,do you know them?

I could have stay a lot longer in Australia to see more of it, and I hope to goback one day.I could wright so many things down from my time in Australia, I couldtalk houres about it. So if you want something to know ask me. I hope you understand everything that I wright down, if you don’t, ask me.

dear greets from Holland,Manon Kroeze”

[AHHH! I've found a new pen pal in Holland =) This really sweet and friendly sister in Christ! =) She so cute type me all her experiences! Its so amazing how such bonds can be made withint 10 mins of toilet waiting. hahahaha]

Andrea’s daily email on the sharings of the Daily Readings!
“Feeling dissatisfied is a sign that Jesus is trying to get our attention; there’s something he wants to give us that we’re not yet open to receive. Our problem is: How is Jesus going to give us what we need if we can’t see him and feel touched by him?
To feel satisfied by an invisible God, we have to stay closely connected to him in prayer AND in the community that he’s given us. We have to pay attention to what he’s doing and who he’s chosen to do it through. That means getting more involved and expect the unexpected! “

[Found this pretty thought-provoking and relevant for some people around me =)]

Jane and Nat’s constant reminder
Conversion Retreat! Apparently its a really good retreat that has alot of good talks about faith and stuff by Fr William Goh at CSC! Anyone interested? =) It is from September 11 to 14, stay in. I can’t wait – and I thank God for sending this two lovely people, and especially Jane, to RAVE OVER THE PHONE after the retreat that I must keep Sept 11-14 free.

Angelo’s FB comment (Met at Train Station in Sydney, Hurstville!)
“Don’t worry about the WYD blues too much! Everyone experiences that, most people I know are kinda sad too, I was so down walking around the city and not seeing heaps of dancing pilgrims! (COOOOMMMEEE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!) =) I felt better remembering that even though we wanna stay at WYD forever, God only gives us these times of grace to charge us for what we have to do when we get back home. Holiness isn’t somewhere out there, its right here, right now…woooot! “

His comment totally (almost) cured my WYD blues – cos’ it put WYD in perspective for me. =) Thanks Angelo!


Thank you for bring angels in my life! =)
