hellos cassell -- firstly i'm so sorry for dragging this for so long, definitely put this off as there were alot of messages to collate, but i'm sorry, it's not an excuse. But please note, these messages were written in June 2021, ofc you know the DOTS kids alot better now already 😬  Only this message from me, is written now in Mar 2022.... Okay, going into my message now
----------------------------------

I think I really look back to the years we were in DOTS together and I look back fondly now and really smile when I think of the memories we have. From strangers, to casually always saying hi when I spot you sitting with your sec seg kids and asking if you want to join us at cell, and at the end welcoming you back after you stopped serving and eventually asking you if you would like to sow into the lives of the campus kids. I definitely don't regret, and I really hope that as much as I learnt and grew from journeying with you, that you also grew as much from this community and serving as well.

I will definitely miss your dad jokes, and yet, let's not stop being friends ok. I know I'm not the most available person, and I realise my friendships are sometimes low maintenance, like I might not always check in / chat with you. But I definitely do treasure this friendship more than others, and I hope that you know even if I don't text, may our friendship be able to remain candid and true, like it is now. Always here for you, just a text away :))
love, jw

Hey Cassell,
We didn’t get a lot of chance to interact but I enjoyed those moments nevertheless. Thanks for hearing me out and I enjoyed those train home even though it was rare. Remember to invite me to your wedding please 🤩 and visit the cell soon! Bye Yishun buddy

Hey Cassell!
I haven’t gotten to know you super well but I find that you’re someone that I can kind of click with ( haha and that’s kinda rare). Anyway I rly appreciate you being one of the older guys in cell who is able to share your opinion and wisdom on things and it’s been rly great to hear ur thoughts especially in our cell discussions. I always feel your much more calm and collected and bring a lot of insight to different topics. Hope you’re enjoying your last year in uni and am gonna miss you in cell. It’s been great getting to know you and hopefully we can meet up sometime.

Hey Cassell
Had some fun times with you but more importantly thanks for looking out for me and also guiding me in terms of knowledge! I really learn alot from you during cell discussions and my understanding of God’s word has improve! Well It looks like Im really going to miss that. As you move on to the YA cell I pray for your heart to continue to seek god and that you will continue to grow in the lord. That the lord will increase your knowledge so that through you many people will also be blessed and eyes will be open.

Hey Cassell! Thanks for being the 大哥 in the cell/core, not in terms of age but in the way that you take care of all of us. I'm really grateful i could get to know you over the past 1.5 years! I know the core work sometimes took a toll on you (esp with the NS boys) but i want you to never forget that we appreciate you as a member of the cell and your efforts have not gone unnoticed :) As God continues to work in you to bless others, i pray that you will feel his delight in you as I am sure he has been delighted in your presence and service to this cell 😊

Wow Cassell! Happy grad man, congrats on making it this far. You know, you are such an important one in our cell. Your passion in searching for truth and God, and pursuing people is amazing. Thank you for your persistence and for keeping the faith, even if it doesn’t seem to bear fruit (right now). The impact you leave on the lives of others might be that small seed that will blossom later 😊

I really look forward to cell time and sharing with you guys. I rmb the first time I worked with you on worship (in 207) before you went to the US, you were super helpful and accommodating even though we were not even acquainted then. I have learnt so much really and so appreciative of you guys, the older ones in how you equip yourselves and engage with people outside of your circle. The courage to stand for what you believe in (on social media) is an outward expression of your faith and convictions, and I am really encouraged by that too! But thankful that you stepped forward to serve in core and continue to be a part of this community that we are building together as a cell. I think serving alongside you and the others has been a journey that has challenged us, and we are all witnesses to the growth of the cell under the hand and provision of God.

Even as you forge forward in our post graduation journey and transition into your new job/ new season with PMC, just wanted to provide some support and say that God is with you, in every season, unchanging and faithful. Thank God for you (in this cell) and once again, happy graduation!

Hey Cassell! It's been a privilege and a pleasure to have gotten to know you through cell. You're a really sociable guy and can talk abt quite a variety of stuff which I really enjoy, ofc some of the more fun ones for me were about the faith and stuff. I admire your heart for younger ones, I see it in how even after stepping down you still keep in touch with Glenda, Taniel, Esther, Zec and I can also see the responsible leader vibe leak through as well when you volunteer to pay or order during dinners. What a heart of a shepherd HAHA I've really enjoyed the convos and exchange of ideas we've had, I think that is a big part of what makes Campus fun at least for me. All the best being an adult and may the love of Christ accompany you through the trials. Godspeed

OMG the no.4 original member of the sisterhood HAHAHA!! so sad to see you leave, I truly enjoyed every conversation at dinners and also all the #whatdidcasselldo discussions that we had about the jacket situation LOL!! but thank you for always including us and never belittling our faith even though we are young. I hope that you continue to spur on those younger in their faith and encouraging them to greater heights. I pray that you continue to hear what god speaks for you and always places him first no matter where you go. Congrats for graduating and welcome to the next chapter of your life adulthood 😭😭😭😀😀

sup cassell my brother in Christ, congratulations on graduating! hope that you've been having a good break and rest. May the Lord continue to prepare you for the new environment and milestone at work before it starts. Thank you for your presence in this cell, and it is God-sent for me to have someone else who have grown up in the same church environment & feel similar things etc. From what you shared about ur woes about church community, glad that the Lord has provided for you spiritual friendships (i.e. ur bromance with mal & isaac), surely this is a testament that the Lord will provide for you every step of the way to support and grow your faith in Him! may u be #blessed, and cya around!
