Hey guys,

This week was our exams week! So we've decided to just do our Recess Revo in our classroom. So we did it during Econs exams since most of us don't take Econs. So we gathered at my classroom and we just decided to pray and we are planning on what we are going to do for the next few weeks!

Somehow somewhere, our discipline teacher found us doing this just gathering the classroom and pray. She is a Malay teacher and she really don't like us doing all this Christian stuff. She even wanted to stop us from doing our CF! :( So she brought us all into the staff room and she dragged us to one side and actually with her there is one Borang Akur Janji and one Borang Kesalahan. The Borang Kesalahan is for us to admit that we are wrong having prayer in class and the Borang Akur Janji is for us to promise that we won't have Recess Revo anymore.

She asked us to fill it up and she left us there. So we really wanted to fill it up but we know if we fill this up we are not making a stand for us and most importantly for God. So I've decided to tell my RR members we don't fill this form up and i've told them that we are going to stand for what we believe in! After 5 mins, our discipline teacher came back and she was shocked that we did not fill it up. When i mean shocked she is literally shocked and angry at the same time. She can't do anything since we are like that so asked few of my RR members to go back and she asked me and one of my RR members to stay since we are both prefect and she works in the prefect board.

So she told me to fill it up. And i actually told her that "NO! We are not going to fill this up! Nothing wrong right doing all this stuff in class. We are not doing anything wrong overall" Then she told us saying "Fill this up. You are doing something wrong which is to meet up without permission" Then I told her that "We are just meeting like normal friends do and we also do things for a reason which doing things according to what we believe in and what we stand for". Then she told us this "From now onwards i am not letting you all meet up like this anymore" Then I told her this "Even if you are going to stop us by meeting up in school we are going to meet outside of school even if you don't let us meet outside school we are still going to meet at somewhere you don't see us! This is how we believe in doing this and we are doing this all for God"

Then she was more than speechless. She actually challenged me and my RR members to do this, give up our Science books to her until the end of our Science exam. Since we really want to do Recess Revo and we really believe in this, we gave up our Science books to her, but instead of wasting our Science books by just giving her we've decided to give our Science books away to people that forgot to bring their Science books on that day. Then she told our Science teacher to mark our papers and give it to us on the next day. And if we all pass 100% she will not stop us in doing this Recess Revo.

Our Science teacher saw this whole thing happening and she said it's not easy! And she is a Buddhist teacher. So an hour before the Science paper started, she gave us this reference paper for us to study and she told us it will be useful! And true enough the reference paper that we studied came out exactly in our Science paper!

So today when we went to collect our Science results before we all went back home, all my RR members including me :D passed our Science! So we went to show our results to our discipline teacher! And she actually can't say anything but to approved us doing our Recess Revo! PTL :) I did have a long chat with her outside the staff room. And I actually told her that we are going to do this Recess Revo project in our school called "Project Keceriaan". So she told me this " Since you all really believe in this Recess Revo, I will give you all RM1K to do this! :)" Well i said thank you.

So really praise God for even the long testing and trials He has brought us through. And of course this discipline teacher is not a generous giver but yet she still offered us RM1K!! So Praise the Lord :)

That's all from me this week. Hope to hear more true stories from you guys soon ;)
