of looking for rooms and churches..
Saturday!!! its another glorius day in Clayton, bright sunshine all around, but really nice and cool in the shade. such a beautiful day would be wasted and as such we took a trip down to the city to check out Josh's lodgings and everything.
Melbourne's public transport is divided into 3 zones, zone 1 being the most inner and 3 being the outer, clayton is actually located on the parameter of zone 1 in zone 2, as such, we are able to take a shuttle bus into zone 1 and save lots of cash!!, ha ha...
the city is actually a simple bus ride and train ride away... but takes about an hour to get into town.
getting to RMIT was relatively easy, but the problem was that the uni's are pretty much closed on weekends. Thank God, the notice boards in the main building were still accesible and Josh managed to locate flyers on lodgings and such.
after this was done, we made contact with Soph and we met up for dinner, ate some vietnamese dishes, rice and soup... twas really good! the beef soup that Andrew ordered w\tasted really authentic and the beef rice and crispy chicken rice was awesome... apparently this place ia near where Andrew's parents stayed, and Soph used to come here pretty often..
After this was the main event of the whole day, something myself and josh had been looking forwward to the entire time we've been here, CHURCH. haha..
well, we've visited 2 so far, which is the church that sophenie goes to, Waverly church, and the PS church which is in the city hall. Both were pretty good, thought Waverly church was briefing their members bout their churches vision theme and dream this week, so couldn't gage their message, wherelse PS church had a simple message, though very powerful in encouraging and stiring up the people.. will have to give both churches more time before i choose either.
other than that, after the meeting, we were sorta set off on our own devices since Jeremy, our contact (son of Ps. Ronald Teo) had a discipling class right after service. So he hooked us up with his friend Billy, who is sorta the connection team for the PS church (sort of PR guy). Which was great since he's been there for a while already, and actually worked for the tour guide agency before, so we managed to get a melbourne tour for dummies thingamajig, lol!
He was a great blessing, really. brought us all around city, told us important points, tips... and main roads in melbourne. It turns out he is really a very strong christian and we ended sitting at a coffee stop beside the church chatting bout everything, which then steered towards discussion bout christian things and actually lots of encouraging and interesting things, a really nice guy, he's from JB too, haha... this place is turning out to be awesome, not just physically, but it sort of allows me to grow in such different proportions and ways that i'm really excited about what can happen this year!
oh, by the way... i am considering taking up a english nick, what do you guys think bout Vincent, lol.. i know some of you will have a great laugh.. especially those who went for mission trip last year!
signing out for tonight!
