Jonathan and his mum

Jonathan at Gurney Plaza

Jonathan was playing with auntie Thuong who is studying at KDU college. Jonathan loves to play with this panda. That day we had a steamboat at one of Korean Restaurant. You just oay RM25 then you can eat whatever you want and like. There are many types of food, from seafood to the husbadary, vegetables, ice-scream...


This is Duc. Duc is also a student at a KUU College that nears our house. Today he is in a very gorgeous suit because he helps me to interprete for a muder case at High Court in Penang. Normally, I attend this kind of Court Case if Eric needs me for the interpretation. Today I am not feeling well so I have Duc to replace me. I tease him a bridegroom today:).

There are many murder cases in Penang area that envolve with the Vietnamese workers. Eric takes those cases also because of the Vietnamese people. He has a great heart for the Vietnamese.

This is Eirc's gown when he appears at High Court. He look s so fat in this gown. I cant see his neck. hehehe.

This is a simple but very meaningful Birthday Party for the workers who has birthday in July, Aug and Sept 2008. Every quarter we have this celebration for them. Many of them have never had such Birthday Clebration when they were in Vietnam.

NEW CAR

Very early this year we had a special prayer meeting at Church. One of my prayer was a car granted from God. Thank God, he has answered my prayer. I am slowly considering buying a car for myself. Eric and Papa in-law ask me to buy secondhand first as my driving skill is very amateur.

But, as usual I am stubborn. I prefer a new small car that suit my size and taste. I am considering a VIVA car of local production PEREDOA Branch.

For sure, I will share a pictures with you all when it reaches me.

NEW SHOES FOR JONATHAN

This morning we went to super market to buy a new pair of shoes for Jonathan and of course some for my own, hummm.

Jonathan loves his new shoes. When we reached home, I took off his shoes, put on his new shoes. I asked him to keep his old shoes. I was surprised that he knows how to keep his shoes. He took his shoes to the same place and put there. He remember where I keep his ball, his toys.

Very interesting and surprisingly, I learn new thing that my little son know a lot of thing. He imitate everything my single action in daily life. The book that I am reading help me a lot in near future.

I am reading the book "Making Children Mind without Losing Yours" of author Dr Kevin Leman

I am reading this book. it is one of the best-selling Author of the New Birth Order Book. this book shares with you how to raise our child. One of the contents are Why reality will work in your home, How to act when they act up, winning ways...The book states that we do not need a community, a village to raise your child. We also do not need the church to raise your child. We need parents to raise their own child.

VERTIGO

For last 1o days I had a vertigo. I was taking care of Jonathan, suddenly thing spinning around me. I tried to stand up, same problem.

In the evening, I suffered the same situation. Next morning, it was worse. I could not get up. Eric had help me. He hold me and help me to stand up. Thanks God, I could stand up finally.

Eric took me to the hospital. Dr Sathindren put me in to few tests such as CT scan, Blood test, Urine test, ECG (brain wave). All were done. NOTHING serious in my mind. Dr Sathindren diagnosis my problem is chemical imbalance. Some virus affected my ear that cause this vertigo problem.

Due to this health issue I had cancel my trip to Hawaii. Eric helped me to write a letter to the director of Haggai Institute. They were very understanding and have rescheduled me to the January 2009 course. For that, I wont be able to go also because we have planed to go back to Vietnam.

This is the 3rd time I have canceled my trip to the US. I am sure, God will give me another chance.

Grace's trip to the US

I thank the Lord for his blessing abundantly. I have a very nice parents in law. They are very understanding, supportive, caring for my life during my stay with them.

Jonathan is growing up healthy. Eric's job is stable and has whole hearted to the Vietnamese.

The next big blessing is my trip to the US. I have ticket in hand. I will departure on the 27th Sept and back on the 25th Oct 2008. I am excited about it. This trip is for training for the leaders who are working with the developing countries.

God bless you all.

Jonathan at the Toy Shop

The other day we took him to a toy shop. when we reached the shopping center, he was very playful. he just wanted to sit down to play with the fender like a slider. he did not go at all. I had a very hard time to control him. Until I was tired, I also sit down with him.

This is the toy shop.

Jonathan was searching for his favorite toy.

Some Pics of Jonathan

Jonathan was enjoying in the world toy at Gurney Plaza-one ơf the biggest
and most luxurious shopping Center in Penang.

It was very surprised to know that Jonathan likes drawing. I first discovered at Church service on Sunday night on 31st Aug 2008. He borrowed pen from one of Church member then started to draw. But I can not understand his drawing :).

I and Eric took him to the shopping complex to buy a small white board for him to play. Now, he is playing with the white board day and night. you can see it.

VERY SAD NEW

This is auntie Ai Ming's family

In the past week our family faced a very sad new. The new was about auntie Ai Ming. She has three children, 2 sons and one daughter.

Ai Ming is a very committed Christian. Her funeral was conducted at her Agape Church in Subang on Monday. Church members remember her as wife...a mother...a daughter...a sister...an aunt...a sister in the Lord and a good friend.

Ai Ming was discovered with a lump in her breast 6 years ago when her youngest son was 6 months. By her faith in Christ, God gave her strength and energy to live like a normal person until now.

Jesus said, let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in me. May the Lord watch you and keep you always.
