Walk for Jesus

My mom woke me up early in the morning and told me about going to the mall. I got up as I was excited about going shopping. I didn't know I was only going there to walk. My mom wanted me to be there before the stores open so that I would not be distracted. To her surprise, Sears and Bay opened early. I kept wanting to go in, but my mom hung onto me really tight and told me, "Later."

We arrived at Southgate Shopping Mall at 8 am. and we were there till past 11 am. The other Bara team members arrived at different times and I walked with all of them round and round inside the mall. I cannot tell you how many rounds we made. I don't know how to count and my mom lost track of how many times we walked around the mall.

I behave amazingly well for my mom today. After the stores opened, I really wanted to go into some of the stores we passed by. My mom pulled me away from those stores and prompted me to continue walking. Somehow, I didn't resist. I am stronger than my mom. There is no way she can pull me away if I don't let her.

I have raised a total of $4,200.00 for Chinese Outreach.

Good job, Timothy. As you see, I tried to behave very well too. I have the same problem as you do because there are lots to see at the mall. This is fully understandable. We should find a time to go shopping together. Through some practice, we will get better and make our moms' job a little bit easier. Hope to see you soon.
