Last Saturday, I went on my first Youth in Mission trip. Early in the morning, I rode the train to Surabaya, The train ride took  nine hours to arrive to Surabaya. I spent my time by watching movies, listening to music, and watching the scenery.

By the time I arrived in Surabaya, it was already 19:00pm, therefore we went straight to eat Dinner at Bu Rudy. After dinner, I checked into my hotel, I unboxed my luggage, and then prepared to go to sleep. That's the end of my first day at Surabaya.

Sunday was the first day of my service. I went to GRII at 6:30am and arrived there at 7:00am. The first congregation was held at 7:30am, and the second one was held at 10:00am. I joined both of the congregations, as i was apart of the choir team.

My team and I sang the song “Jadikan Aku Saluran Berkat” in both of the congregations. After the second congregation ended, we ate lunch, and afterwards did medical checkups for the people in the church. After our service was done, we went back to the hotel and prepared for tommorow’s service.

At Monday, i went to Rumah Anak at 6:30am. In Rumah Anak we did 3 activities, which are drawing, bracelet making, and cooking. I was apart of the bracelet making team, although I then went to drawing.

After Rumah Anak, we went to get lunch, which afterwards we went to Rumah Wanita Lanjut Usia. I think Rumah Wanita Lanjut Usia was one of the most memorable for me, as hearing the stories of the grandmas there were genuinely very heartbreaking. Some were abandoned by their families, and some has no families. I cried together with my friends after we left the Rumah Wanita Lanjut Usia.

Today's service was the service that i felt was most tiring, in the morning we started our service at SMP YBPK1 Surabaya. I was assigned to teach social media etiquette at class 8B. I thought that teaching kids wouldn't be that hard, however i was wrong. Although it was draining, I had a lot of fun and new experiences. I got to know more about the kids in SMP YBPK1 Surabaya and did a lot of activities together within the 8B Class.

After the social media etiquette session was done, the students had their break, meanwhile we continued preparing for the membatik session. I became the emcee for the membatik session alongside my friend. Whilst the membatik session went on, we were provided with bread to snack on. After the membatik session was done, we were told to help the student's to dry their batiks on the sun. Afterwards, we were given our lunch.

After we were done with SMP YBPK1 Surabaya, we went straight to Panti Asuhan Sejahtera. We didn't really do much in Panti Asuhan Sejahtera, as it was almost night. We sang, and told stories with the kids there.

Lastly, we went a grab dinner at Bebek Gorreng Pak Janggut which was nearby Panti Asuhan Sejahtera. After dinner, we went back to our hotel and got some rest. That's the end of my fourth day at Surabaya.

Today marks the last day of my service. In the morning, we went to TK Citra Kudus. In TK Citra Kudus, we did storytelling and senam Gemu Fa Mi Re alongside with the kids. We alsogave the kids goodybags filled with candies.

After TK Citra Kudus, we went to SD Santo Xaverius. This marks our last service. I was assigned to teach Grade 2 english. Inside the class, i taught english and made puzzles with the kids.

In this day, I didn't eat lunch, as we were given bread in SD Santo Xaverius. After we were done with our last service at SD Santo Xaverius, we went back to the hotel. In the hotel, me and my friends swam at 3:30-4:30. We didn't swim very long because we still had to go to Kota Lama Surabaya at night.

Before going to Kota Lama Surabaya, we stopped by to eat first. We ate ayam goreng Djakarta. After we arrived in Kota Lama Surabaya, we rented a no window type car and we were toured around Kota Lama Surabaya.

After leaving Kota Lama Surabaya, we went back to our hotel per usual and got some rest. That's the end of my fifth day at Surabaya.

Day 6, we did not service at all, as we already finished our service. We went to Malang. For half of the day, we rode jeeps to go up a mountain. The road to the mountain was very rocky and bumpy, after this activity my legs were very bruised.

On the later half of the day, we went to pick apples in the countryside of Malang, although I personally don't eat apples, I picked a few apples to bring home for my family.

After those 2 activities, we were on our way back to Surabaya. It took us approximately 2 hours to arrive back at Surabaya. We had a 30 minutes stop at a rest area to buy some snacks, as it was already 18:30pm and we were still on the road.

Upon arriving to Surabaya, we ate our last dinner. The food and drink came out very long, it took around 45 minutes for my drink to come. I ate salmon fettuccini and drank lychee tea. We left the place at 21:30pm and went back to the hotel. After arriving to the hotel, I didn't slept until 00:30am as I had to pack my luggage. That's the end of my sixth day at Surabaya.

Today was my last day at Surabaya, we stopped by at museums, and souvenir shops. We ate our last lunch at Bu Rudy and went to the zoo afterwards. At the zoo, we were toured around to see the animals, I remember seeing lions, tigers, monkeys, and even a komodo dragon!

We spent our last hours in the zoo, and at 18:00pm we left Surabaya. The train to Jakarta took 11 hours, I arrived back at Station Gambir at 6:30am. I said my goodbye and my thank yous to my YIM group and then went home. That's the end of my Mission Trip At Surabaya.
