Goodbye, WHEC

I have very few weeks left at White Harvest Evangelical Church. I will possibly be there the week of the 23^nd, and maybe graduation weekend (13^th)/send-off (20^th). But they're all maybes. I'm a naturally sentimental person; I like to try to cherish the "last" moments of anything. Like the last night of V-SET '07 in Hong Kong. I was trying to keep Kim Jung up because it was our last night together as a team—but she told me to go to sleep :D.

Anyway, as a small tribute to my time at WHEC, I just wanted to express to God my thanks for bringing me to a church that has its quirks, ups and downs, and blessings. I remember going to WHEC in Nate's extremely small red car, sitting in the backseat with Nate and Lorin in the front. Occasionally we'd stuff another really tall guy in the car, too. I remember back in the day when there were barely 15 of us and I was the only consistent girl.

I remember the Taiwanese USC girls who were doing the teaching program, our "humble Korean lunch" (so good!!), Jeff trying to talk to the congregation after the message but no one listening to him, Daniel Yap coming to Christ and sharing the next Sunday, Yuji catching fire for the Lord (always with new testimonies and stories), my girls starting to go to the church, Ed, then Faith, then Erick, and now occasionally Taurus doing the closing song (All Creatures of our God and King…), Mei making popsicle sticks of the sisters' names so we don't have to choose who goes first in small group (back when there were only so many sisters so there was only one sisters' small group :D)…

I remember all of Pastor Min's nieces hitting all the USC staff brothers and calling me "V-SET girl" because they saw me wearing the '05 V-SET shirt often (only twice!!!); they called Ben Wu "Little Foot" (I think because Nate or Mike was "Big Foot"). I remember playing on the kids toys and getting static shock. And it goes on and on.

Anyway, I wanted to just thank God for this church that I've grown up with. From 4 (Pastor Min +3) to around 70 each week? Wow! That means that by the time I come back (to visit or stay), the church will be significantly different. Hopefully not at 'SC anymore :P. Excited for all God has in store for WHEC, thank you to all who were part of those good times!
