Let’s continue my story with Helen. Speaking of my first impression, Helen gave me an impression of outgoing, talkative, and always smiling. It’s pretty interesting because I didn’t feel nervous when I talked to her, even for the first few times.
After a few weeks of attending the fellowships and worships at the church, I started to have more interaction and exchange with her, mainly outside the church. For example, after a Sunday Service in last September, I went to the house of my fellow church member and learn how to make blueberry cheesecake, and Helen was there also. After finished making that blueberry cheesecake, I exchanged my Facebook contact with several brothers and sisters at the church, and that included Helen. Since then, we have maintained a joyful and leisure conversation, and it was going pretty good. My affection with her began from that point.
I still have a lot to share with you, but I have something else important to do. My story with Helen Tang will continue next time. The story is going to be more exciting, and I have to say that you don’t want to miss it!

I was thinking to continue the series of “One Year In Macau”, but since most of the story from this point is mainly about Helen and I, I decided to re-title this series as “My Days With Helen Tang”.
Helen had a little chat with me at the pastor‘s home that night, later she went to another room, started practicing her piano skills. She would be the pianist for the upcoming Sunday Service. Besides pianist, she has also served several different positions for both Sunday Service and fellowship. She has been well-known by the church and the community – because of her job. She has been a social worker / program assistant at a local community service agency since 2009, which provides counseling and guidance service to those at risk teens and tweens. Because of her working nature, she always needs to deal with a lot of different people, especially those at risk teens.
Back to my story. After I prayed to the God that I believed in Jesus Christ, I began to come to the Sunday Service, and that was my first time to come to Sunday Service, as our pastor always says all Christians should be always get close to our Heavenly Father – The God. We must read the Bible everyday, pray to the God everyday, participate in bible study courses, fellowship and Sunday Service. I still remember that I felt unnatural when I was inside the church, there were many new people that I had never met before, except for those few people that I met at the birthday party like Si Si, Kenny, etc. My spiritual life began to grow from that point, and now it’s still growing I believe.
Helen is a playful girl and she is very talkative and outgoing. She always initiated conversation with me, but she always made fun with me because she said that I was stupid-looking. She tried to tricked me when I was playing leisure chess, and I was not that happy at that time. However, I knew that she was a nice girl and I understood she didn’t have malice, so I still wanted to make friend with her. We became friends about two weeks after our first net.
My story with Helen Tang will be continued next time…

My “One Year In Macau” story continues at this point. You may recall that Helen Tang was telling her personal story in front of the audience during the birthday party, so what happened then? After the birthday party, we all got into another room for some refreshment, including the so-called “cement ice-cream”. The birthday party came to an end with joy and happiness.
After the birthday party, Kenny Lei (the one that first met at the birthday party) encouraged me to come to their church for gathering and to worship. One week after the birthday party, I went to the church again to take part in their youth fellowship, and that was my officially first time to join the church. Most people at the fellowship were the same as at the birthday party because most of the activities are usually organized by the youth fellowship members. Kenny Lei, Ng Si Si, Dennis Lok, Helen Tang… Those are the members of youth fellowship. Because it was my first time to take part in their fellowship, everything seemed new to me, and at some point I had no idea what they were doing. After the fellowship, the pastor who sat next to me had a little chat with me, he asked something about me, my family, where did I come, what I was doing, etc. I felt pretty good talking with the pastor. Kenny then took out an orange booklet in Chinese called “你聽過關係你人生的好消息嗎？” , which literally means “Have you ever heard the good news about your life?” When Kenny showed me that booklet, I didn’t know what that was, but later I realized that was a gospel booklet. He went through the entire booklet, and he had made four important principles about my life, they were: 1. The God loves you and me; 2. We all have sin; 3. Jesus Christ is the only savior; 4. We must accept Jesus Christ as our savior and the master of our lives. With all that principles I have to accept Jesus Christ with my confidence, and invited Jesus Christ into my heart. Kenny also showed me two illustrated hearts from the booklet, he said the left one represented the self-managed life, and he explained that people who have self-managed lives always feel not safe. Then he showed me another heart, that heart represented the life that managed by the Jesus Christ, and he explained that the life that managed by the Jesus Christ would be safe and joyful. After his explanation, he gave me about 10 seconds to ask myself. What kind of lives I had? What kind of lives I would choose if I could choose? I paused a few seconds, took a deep breath, and at that moment I thought accepting Jesus Christ as my savior would help me get out from the damn life. So then I told Kenny that I wanted to have a life that managed by the Jesus Christ. Kenny then prayed with me to accept the Jesus as my savior and master of my life, I also admitted that I had sin and asked the God to pardon my sin. After the pray, Kenny said according to the Holy Bible, everyone who accepted Jesus Christ would have eternal life. He also told me that our religious belief was based on the God’s faithfulness and the reliability of the Bible, not our feeling. Since feeling could be easy changed. At that point, I became a Christian. Kenny said my life had already changed, because: 1. Jesus Christ had been in my heart; 2. My sin had been pardoned by the God; 3. I had become the son of the God; 4. I had begun a new life. Finally Kenny gave me a few suggestions: 1. Pray to the God everyday; 2. Read the Holy Bible everyday; 3. Depend on the God, follow the decree of the God; 4. Obedience to inspiration of the Holy Spirit, do the good things and spread the good news. After reading the entire booklet, I became a Christian who is not yet baptized, also I became a brother of the church. After that, Kenny encouraged me to take part in most of the activities at the church like fellowship and worship, then he and I entered the home of the pastor, inside the house I met Mrs. Lei, the pastor’s wife, Si Si and Helen were also in there. Helen was sitting opposite to the pastor, and was rubbing her toes. Even though I recognized her at the birthday party, but I didn’t know her name at that time. I even thought that she might be the pastor’s daughter. Helen then talked to me, introduced herself and had a small chat with me. I could say that was our first encounter, and our sweet story was about to begin.
I’d tell more about Helen and I next time, please don’t miss it!
