Day 6 (25 Nov, Sunday)

In the morning, Soymilk+C met for breakfast and ate at a shop close by the Somprasong Church. Later, we dressed formally in our blue team shirts and shoes and sat down together with the congregation in the worship hall for Sunday service. Uncle Paul and Uncle Pak Fook gave separate sermons in the same morning after worship. With the help of a translator, the congregation consisting of the Thais, Singaporeans (plus Uncle Gibson!), Filipinos and Africans, all understood and learnt from their sermons. Later, the Soymilk + C team went on stage to sing ‘A New Anointing’ and ‘Lord, I Want to Know You More’.

Lunch

After lunch, the church gathered at the carpark for SPORTS DAY! We were all divided into three teams; Yellow, Red and Blue. The church members’ enthusiasm and spontaneous cheering added to the excitement as we anticipated the start of the whole event. It kicked off with a game where a person from each team pushed a rubber wheel round the cones with a baton. The games got dirtier and wetter and ‘starchier’. Water bombs were splashed, flour was smeared onto shirts and we finally gathered to take a group picture before breaking off to clean-up. During the clean-up, most youths were still having fun using the cups to splash water on people. It especially became exciting when Uncle Paul joined in!

Unfortunately, when we were queuing up to use the toilets, Amanda Tan felt nauseous and was running a slight fever. She was brought to the doctor soon after, accompanied by Veronica. Meanwhile, the rest of us got ready for the second service at night. This time, Justin and Jeremoo both preached their sermonettes. Despite their stage-fright-ness, they did their thing. Uncle Pak Fook got Andris and Amanda Soo to present Bao a netball and a basketball as a token of the Soymilkians’ appreciation. Our team later presented another two songs, ‘Blessed be Your Name’ and ‘I Praise You Lord’. A video of the pictures taken during the sports day was shown right after.

The members, yet again, whipped up a scrumptious meal for dinner and everyone enjoyed the meal and fellowship! It was great to see the Soymilkians reaching out and stepping out of their comfort zone to interact with our new-found friends. The sporty members of the Somprasong church got together to play volleyball. Later on in the night, the Soymilkians and some Thais went over to Swensons for supper (the original destination was to be A&W). After the delicious ice-cream, we headed back and played basketball and soccer together. It was only after Uncle Pak Fook told us repeatedly to go sleep before we finally stopped. We all slept soundly, but yet excited for the next day’s trip from Bangkok to Chiangmai.
