two weeks ago, Candy emailed me and a few others about a Going Away Party for Ivy. : ) Ivy will be leaving at the end of the month to work at Indonesia. and it's really sad to leave family and friends behind. to get out of your comfort zone is hard. so Candy organized this party - she talked to Joel about the place, and thankfully, he let us use Little Miss Muffin, he even cooked for us! (thank you!! : ) ), had everyone write notes/letters to be placed in a tiny bottle, and decorated the place the day before the party. what a sweeet friend. : )
on Sunday afternoon, we all went there and surprised Ivy. even though she didn't looked really surprised. hehe. but i know she's happy. : ) Koo, Mau, and Sister June was there too and they shared a few words of encouragement. i was late (sorry!) so i only heard Koo shared. and she said that this is a opportunity to experience the Lord and to be used by the Lord. going there and coming home will be this - you loved the Lord more, or you loved the Lord less. i pray that Ivy will be able to shine for the Lord there and stay strong amidst trials. : )
after they shared, we all ate dinner together. i LOVED the food! chicken fritter fries, i ordered beef teriyaki, some ordered chicken katsudon, and Sher ordered salad. : ) more than the food, the company is great! and i really had a great time with them, as always. : )
