The theme of our camp was ‘Open our hearts’. The journey up to The NEST where we stayed was a challenge. It was a very sharp winding roller coaster road up all the way for about 30mins. Our next 10 to 15min challenge was to walk up to The NEST. Due to the wet climate up there, there were leeches everywhere. In addition to the presence of leeches the road up we have to walk steps and then walked the uneven road up like going on a short hiking. Some brothers and sisters were bitten by leeches. Brothers and sisters were so quick to help one another to carry luggages, food, fruits etc. When we arrived at The NEST, many were already very tired and wet; all longing to take a shower but then there was no electricity and no water. It seems like this is a constant phenomenon in Bukit Larut. We were told by the caretaker that the electricity may return the next day. Waoh! It would truly be very uncomfortable for many! Yet our God was and is always good. Despite whatever that seemed to be impossible, He grant electricity and water always when we needed it.
Although we have a rough start for the camp, nevertheless, brothers and sisters greatly enjoyed it very much. It was also a special camp where many parents were able to make it. They were much blessed as well. Many were blessed by the messages, the case study, the thanksgiving time, as well as all the time where they can be relax, eat and do all things together.
