Rasa bangga juga sebab abang sulung saya (Alfred) telah terpilih untuk mengikuti misi ini. Sempat menghabiskan masa bersama abang, kakak ipar dan anak-anak semasa mereka berada di Kota Kinabalu sebelum abang bertolak. Semoga abang diberkati Tuhan untuk sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat dan selamat semasa di sana. Amen.
