New Assignment From God

In the last few weeks, my life was like playing bungey jump in ROT (Rotorua).

Two weeks ago, I went to ROT with my bros and sisters in Christ. That was wonderful time to have a break and a rest out of AKL (Auckland) with my best buddies, even though it was raining all time in ROT. We all enjoyed the trip.

We went to the spa when we first arrived and relaxed in the spa pool. But we didn’t enjoy the price, because the fee had increased ($25 to $40 now). After the spa, we went back to our motel. We cooked dinner by ourselves, and shared our companionship during the dinner. We played card games afterwards. The next day, we attended the Sunday service there. Then we went back to Auckland after the Sunday service.

Thanks God!!! That was a wonderful and lovely trip…

And time flew… last week; I received a call from Henderson hospital. They informed me that my Japanese friend was in hospital, in the mental department. I was very shocked when I received the call. Then I drove my car to the hospital that evening…

When I arrived at the mental unit, I spoke to the officer about my friend. They told me my friend had a mental problem because he took too many drugs in a period of time. He was crazy when he was staying in his flat. So his flat mate called the police and an ambulance took him to hospital.

His doctor has advised me to contact his family in Japan, and hopefully his parents can take him back to his country. The doctor said this is the“Drug Addict”.

I know I need to do something and follow this case to help my friend (even I don’t have experience for this kind of case…).

And I believe God wants me to learn something for this situation. (I used to call this is HOMEWORK from God)…

Lord, please help my friend and guide me!

New Book

Last week, I bought a reduced price book, which is about photography for entry-level users. The name of the book is "The Essential Photography Manual". It cost only $20 for this special offer.

This is the first time I have bought this kind of book. Since I have bought a new digital camera last year I have started to be interested in taking photos. I have found there are many fuctions in a digital camera. I have tried to use these functions without any reference books, but I couldn't control them so, finally I bought this book.

This book is good, especially for entry-level users. It mentions basic functions and how to take photos from different directions. Also, it shows how to use the computer software to edit and correct photos. At the end of this book there is a chapter called "Encyclopedia": It shows teh cameras' history and tools, and shows the difference between film cameras and digital cameras.

I feel excited to learn from this book and can't wait to practice how to use the camera.
