在ＤＯＵＬＯＳ上工作　常常有意想不到的工作和責任交拖在妳身上

我還記得在阿爾巴尼亞的時候他們跟我講說　財政部長和外交部長要三十分鐘之內到

而我要負責接待他們　那時候的感覺　

上個月我帶著　英屬直布羅陀的樞機主教和 ＤＯＵＬＯＳ 的新 ＤＩＲＥＣＴＯＲ 做一個小時的簡報

在地位年齡學歷智慧都比我高出許多的人物面前　如何的不卑不亢的完成份內的工作　實在需要屬天的智慧

我的一位好友玉婷（香港）在書展部負責原本只是一個小組長的工作　

這個星期大老闆不在小老闆休假　三個貨櫃帶著　幾萬本書突然來到　責任就落在她和另一個俄國的女孩子的肩膀上

正在面臨前途抉擇的她　在面對工作壓力之下　還要對未來做出負責任的態度

這就是我們被　破碎　磨塑　的痛苦過程

她希望回到香港能夠參與新到港華人事奉的工作　也對北韓很有負擔

我們一起為她的未來禱告

睿

Subject: My future plan?

Dear All,

These days I have been super busy:

3 book containers should come on Wednesday(20 Oct). The first one suddenly came on Sunday early in the Morning. We didn't have time to plan. I was waken up by phone call from line-up. The team worked till 9:30pm. Late at the same night, the second one came. We started unloading in Tuesday morning. The third container suddenly came when we almost finished half of the second one. Until 9:00pm, we haven't finished. But we stopped for the day. Continued the next day. Finished in the afternoon. We thought only 5 more palets coming on Friday. We suddenly got a message that we would get another 12 palets on Thursday and 4 on Friday. Marina(My friend from Russia who I work with) and I fell in front of our computers because of the shocking news. I have been working for super overtime these week. The only good thing is that everybody worked so hard. The spirit is good. I think I shocked some of the new people just joining ship recently because I have been shouting so much when we were working but I look quiet noramlly. Anyway, I learn how to work intensively with a lot of people and be organised at the same time. And you know, I have to be confident to lead the people but also to be open and humble to listen to their advice. It is not easy to control your temper when you are tired. You know what I mean.

Since I am going to finish the time on the Doulos, many people have been asking me about my future plan. So here you are. Basically I will be in OM Hong Kong for 3 months being involved in their ministry after I go back to Hong Kong, and then I will finish my commitment in OM. In my mind, I want to help in the new immigrants from mainland china. I know that the OM Hong Kong is also doing this ministry in certain areas in Hong Kong. At the same time, my home church has a new church planted in the same area with OM in Sham Shui Po ( a district in Kowloon, Hong Kong). So I think that it will be a good oppportunity to see if God is opening the door for me to serve those chinese people. I believe that God is going to use my experince in social work to help the people and share His love through this. I have been thinking about this for more than one year even just before I left Hong Kong in 2003. And since I was away from home, I met so many people around the world and so many people shared about the need of the world. But only the people in China and North Korea touch me the most. More or less, it is the reason why I learn Korea on the ship. God promises me that He would bring me to the land He prepared for me.(can be geographically or only on the working environment) But I know it is still not the time. I am like a stone, He is still molding and shaping me. I need to strengthen myself on my knowledge and my working experience. And I think I have to spend time with my family to share what I have been experiencing and thinking. ( As you know they are not Christians.) At the same time, I need to see how they have changed and what God has done on them. Maybe there will be some revelation from God when I come back and see my family, my freinds and my church.

So I think I will try to look for a job which I can serve the mainland chinese people and to look for a Korean community (probably a Korean church) to see if this is the vision from God or only my passion.

Maybe you will have question. Just feel free to ask me. But basically this is the conclusion I have after this two years since I joined OM. Many uncertainty, but I see it as a road to seek God and to experience Him. It is ongoing and full of question marks. And that's why we need supporters to always pray for each others, right?

Last word for my family. If my family is reading it as well and get shocked because of what I shared, don't worry so much. God is always so kind to me. I trust Him. I think Ardo ( my younger sister) understands. By the way, you are the ones I have been worried about the most. ^______^

This is a little bit long letter. Thank you for your love and patience to me.
