A surprised Birthday for Thuan Muc su

2 days before Thuan's birthday, I asked some of our youth if they wanted to surprise him. We came to the decision of making that at 00:01 am of his birthday, they would come to sing happy birthday to him. Agree! I then secretly cooked some food. Our sister bought the birthday cake, balloon and candles were well prepared. We sent messages back and forth to update if things were ready for them to come to our place. But guess what? Thuan did not go to bed until 11:55. It was not him at all! And when he came to bed, he did not sleep but kept talking to figure out what I would do for him tomorrow. I said we would date out and eat his favorite food. And since he did not sleep, I could not tell our youth to come in. As a result of that, they suffered beaten by mosquitoes and guess what? The neighbors' dogs started barking. And Thuan understood that some people must be outside.
**Without brushing his teeth, Kairos enjoyed the balloon in the morning after that. =)
Well, we had a great time to somehow surprise him and express our appreciation to him as a pastor, discipler, brother, and a friend to us.

Blessed Happy Birthday to you, Muc Su!
