Last Evening in KL

What a high cholesterol evening this was!! First of all bak kuh the for dinner, went home, I blogged and Alvin watched F1 with the Teoh family and then we went out again after for supper. Nasi goreng (fried rice) fried with pork lard and sprinkled with pork lardoons (heart attack on a plate), hokkien mee again, oyster egg pancake. Oh my goodness the pain! But you know what? It was so worth it, because we were able to spend a good 4 hours talking with Alvin’s cousin and also a guy whom I’ll call Rod – one of the Teoh family we stayed with.

It all started off with talking about girls! Rod commented that Alvin had met me at church and Chun Yip and Kristy had met at church, therefore he thought it would be a good idea if he went to church as well in order to meet a girl. What followed was a conversation where we talked about what his beliefs are and what we believed. He said he was open to going anywhere, and asked us at the end when we would take him to church!! He has grown up with Buddhist parents, going to temple and encouraged to pray but somehow going away feeling like it’s pointless. He said he believed in setting your own boundaries and hard work. However when we asked him what these boundaries were based on and what would stop him from pushing them further he couldn’t answer.

Later on when Alvin’s cousin (I’ll call him Will) arrived as well there was yet more talk. We shared with them our experience of DUMC. They both asked questions on lots and we had a great time of discussion and sharing. Rod asked me if I was born a Christian, so I was then able to explain how no-one is born a Christian and I ended up giving him my testimony. You know what? I have never actually given my testimony to a none-Christian before. But it felt good to share, it feels like another step for me.

Anyway, it seems like a lot happened those few days in KL. God is evidently working in those around us and giving us opportunity to talk to them about our faith. I pray that this would continue, and I pray that both would come to know the real God. Please continue to pray for these two guys, they really really need our prayer.
