Ian's Flight Out

Last week, Ian, Susie, Winnie and Chee Yong said their goodbyes and left for the UK. It was hard to see close friends leave and even harder if you serve in the same ministry for the longest time together. An hour before take off, we said our goodbyes, slipped in those last minute mini-speeches and gave our last hugs as we saw them pass the gate and into the waiting room.

With Ian's leaving, it would mean me taking over Glo (Canaan's young adults ministry for the uninitiated) and having one less friend around for the next 6 months or so. It might seem nothing - 6 months - but it simply isn't. In a little while, I would taste the bitter and the sweet.

Its going to be hard not hearing Susie's voice, seeing Winnie's smile, having Ian's company.
