Free hair cut

Date: 24th July 2008
Venue: Susan's house

I were very blessed to have free hair cut at my Korean's friend house.
She learnt hair cut for 3 months before she came to UK. I think she
has done a great job. I got my hair cut at Yedam for £15. It was so
expensive. Thanks to Susan.

Farewell for Jill

Date: 18th July 2008
Venue: Jill's house


After 14 years of welcoming international wives to her house
for fellowship and bible study, Jill has decided to call it a day......

I shed tears during the farewell. I sure will miss this fellowship
so much. I still remember Edith brought me to this fellowship
when i visited UK at 2006.

Through this fellowship, i know Jill, who is a very caring old lady.
She always pray for us. I still remember Jill volunteered to help
me in settling my registration with General Practice (GP) and she
prayed for me when i could not be enrolled to Bounville College
for ChildCare NVQ course. She's very patience and willing to help us
to improve our English. I will miss her a lot.......


Jill......
