Mission's trip to Slovakia

It's an early travel on Monday morning. Woke up at 4am and get myself ready. Michi is picking us up at 5.30am to go to Siegfried's house. All together 6 of us from Germany is going to this mission's trip to Slovakia, Michi, Dl, me, Siegfried, Annerose, Marilyn (Siegfried & Annerose's 6 yr old daughter).

Pic 1: In front of Siegfried's house early morning at 6am, its very cold...

Actually this mission trip is so different from other mission trips that i went before. Other mission trips that i went require us to bless the ppl there like preaching to them, sharing to them.. but this mission trip is to send a big sum of money to bless one of the pastor there, Ps Robert who is taking care of a church. It is a church that Dl's church is supporting so we are here from Germany sending a love offering to them as well as visiting the pastor there and some church members... heheeheee....

This mission trip to Slovakia needs 2 days drive... so our first day is only driving and driving and driving from 6am - 8pm. We will pass through Austria too to get to Slovakia.

At 7am, we stop by at a bakery shop to buy our breakfast and hop to the car to have our breakfast in the car. Silly me when into the bakery shop while dl and Siegfried chatting outside, wanting to help dl to save some money so i get the cheapest bread that i can find and bought 4 plain bread, heheheheee... well, its cheap but this plain bread are suppose to eat with ham or to put other fillings in it to eat, being a jakun, i dont know coz i hvn't tasted this plain bread before mahhhh, hehehehee.... so poor dl and i have to eat plain bread, 2 for him, 2 for me... kekekekee. Well for me, that plain bread is so nice, tasty coz im used to eat bread back in M'sia, my normal lunch will be bread... hahahahaaa

Pic 3: Later we had some more bread prepared by Michi for us... so good of him... he made a lot, i think there are more than 10 of this bread with tomato, cheese and eggs in it. So along the journey, they will take and eat... long long journey... and i sleep a lot as if i took sleeping pills like what dl said... hahahaha. Well, other than sleeping i am also reading the book, Heaven is so real. It makes my journey more exciting as i read this book.... Wow... anyway, haven't finish reading it yet.

At last, at 8pm we found a hotel, check in and walk for 30mins?? to get the best dinner... hahhaaa, recommended by Siegfried. He went to visit the church in Slovakia before, so he knows the way... and where to get good food. Heheehee... After dinner is like 10.30pm and poor Marilyn is tired and wanting to cry... hehhe, so dl said he will carry Marilyn back to the hotel... ohh... so sweet....
