First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to go to Ba'kelalan, Mount Murud this year. If it was not the encouragement and motivation from Sister Judith, I may not have had the courage to make such a decision. For the first time TMC delegation to this event comprises of brothers and sisters from three different congregations. Although we are from different backgrounds, cultures, speak different languages and different ages, our belief brings us together for this trip. Together we went through laughter, enjoyed beautiful scenery, supported, and encouraged each other throughout the whole journey.
I am not new to mountain hiking/climbing. From my previous experiences, I think I can climb at a reasonably fast pace, and I wished to reach the destination as soon as possible. I told my team that I wanted to reach the destination fast. However, to my surprise, as soon as I stepped into the forest, I felt that it was not as easy and smooth as I had imagined. We were divided into three teams, and all the team members were to take care of each other, and no one were to be left behind or left alone.
