MLC's Birthday!

Oh yeah. Today I feel grrrrreeeeeaaaaattttt for unknown reason!

Today is Mount Lawley Church's fourth birthday. As I'm sure I know but I never write it down in this blog (so, I shall write, in case the future me will read this), starting from this year I go to the church twice. Saturday I go to a Roman Catholic church near my homestay, and Sunday to Mount Lawley Church (a.k.a. MLC), which is actually a IPHC church. I started to do this after my uncle and aunt protested about me going to another church. I don't mind, actually, because all I seek is God, not Catholic or Christian or Islam or other religions. Besides, MLC is the first church and the first community I found in Australia. Emotionally speaking, they're like a family to me. I can't just leave them like that. I just can't.

Another reason is because the Roman Catholic church near my homestay is (I'm sorry to say) old. The only ones who come there are the elders, with only one or two generation Y including me. Still, except for a little girl that I think is in primary school, I'm the youngest there. It's very unlike in Indonesia. I'm kind of lonely there that only going to that church is unthinkable. MLC, on the other hand, is much more lively. I met many other people there, most of them have even helped me a lot, even though it's not really my religion. Still, they welcome me nicely, so ... what the heck? Having a different religion isn't a bad thing, anyway.

So, in order to avoid trouble with my family members, I decide to go to both. No trouble, right? They told me to go to a Roman Catholic church, and I do! No problem. Kind of cheating, but hey, 'tis not wrong! Happy birthday, MLC! Forgive me for two-timing!
