new jersey (part one)...

15.09.2005
after 17/18 hours of flight... i finally got to JFK new york...

this was my first time taking KE... and their service was really good... for seoul-new york leg, they used 777 equipped with personal VOD system for economic class as well... its korean dish was so yummy yummy...

thx to jackson... who drove me from JFK to their church in new jersey... it took almost 2 hours of driving, one way...i.e. it took him a total of 4 hours driving back and forth...

i was so surprised to know that ita was just a U3 student... but she had to arrange all the stuff for the gatherings here...

got up quite early this morning... coz of jet lag... but hopefully i could still manage to get some rest after the long flight...

bro/sis from various places gathered at ita's house this morning... halo elaine - who drove 2 hours from maryland to new jersey... some 13/14 choir members from toronto also arrived by 9... they had been driving overnite...around 10-hour drive all the way from toronto to new jersey... i was so touched by how they devoted themselves in serving God...esp driving such a long way to the states and serving the community here...

we departed from ita's home by around 11am... and we drove another hour to a chinese church in brooklyn... the church, and its building, was old... no, i should say the church was so "classical" with beautiful glass pictures on the windows... and today was just a bit too hot... the church had no air conditioning... well... #_#

let me introduce our special guest - mr boomjiu... he was our ad hoc helper on the lighting... when the program had just started for a few minutes...all of a sudden, the screen had no projection... instruments had no sound, no power... we had no electricity... em... mr boomjiu turned the MAIN power OFF... em... it took us some time to reset all the things... thanks to mr boomjiu...
