Hey Freedy,

its your big fat shepherd here! I just thought that you are a God-gift to me in my life. In the past few years of my life, there are many nice memories I have that have you in the picture, like the clueless trip we had in Thailand with Rayson, the time when you promised in front of Peter and Junhuang on how you will always armor bearer me, which that promise only lasted for less than a month before you begin your terror in my life. The shepherding we had together at the art gallery was classic, and remember all our movies-watching together?... including The Covenant which I have no idea why I spend money on watching it till today. You literary formed my identity when all my other names such as Elmo and Fei Mao. There were great fun and enjoyable moment during these years when I took care of you. Of course you know it well that there were many times when things were really hard-going for us. I guess those were the little opportunities that God deliberately drop in our lives to mould and shape us, and I am extremely glad that we weathered through these awkward moments as well. Much has been said during our last few shepherding and through the "report card" I've given you. Just want to thank you for being such a great sheep (overall) and the kind of trust and friendship we have built over the years based not on common interest, personality or background but on our common love for God and desire to lift His name high.

As you move over to Melbourne for the next 1 1/2 years, I just thought of the word "kairos" which means opportune time. It's gonna be your choice to make, through every decision you make over there and your consistency in Christ, to make your trip there a kairos moment, and to allow the transformation work of God to resume in you. Don't worry, I will set up spies there to monitor your every movement hur hur... So take care buddy! It's gonna be a rather short trip actually. So I'll see you soon in Singapore again! Or I'll go over to Australia to find you (or get a blonde girl for myself). Catch you soon!

Your sincerely,
Fei Mao
