Sleepover in KL

by Gabi Esteban

On our trip to KL to attend the church combined service, we stayed with a family. My mom and I met with them after the Leaders’ Meeting. Their names are Auntie Lily and Uncle Steven. For dinner they introduced us to a restaurant called Asam Place at IOI Mall. Pastor Tim co-owned it. Then we went to a wake of one of the church members who passed away.

After that we went to Auntie Lily’s house. Their house is very big and well decorated. It has 2 floors. When we reached there we saw their four children: Arthur (9), Esther (7), Victoria (6), and Victor (4). Our room was small but nice. It was like staying in a hotel room! There were small body wash, lotion and shampoo bottles too. There was also LCD TV in the room. We had a good sleep.

In the morning they served us wanton mee. When I finished, I played scrabble with the children. The maid also gave me bitter medicine made from turmeric. Auntie Lily asked me to try turmeric extract because she heard me coughing while we were eating. The food was quite salty so I coughed. When we started to leave for the combined church service Aunty Lily asked us to take home the shampoo and body wash bottles.

On our way to church we listened to Christian kids music. It helped me memorize the fruit of the spirit. In the church we saw Esther, Veronica and other kids sing and dance to “Tell the World”.

I’m very grateful that the Wong family volunteered to host my mom and me. 
Thank you, Uncle Steven and Auntie Lily!
