Selamat Hari Minggu!

Happy Sunday to you all! It's still dry as a bone here and we are running seriously low on water. So we made a trip to the local pool yesterday to get in our saturday showers. Aahh, a hot shower. I can't tell you how much I miss those! Bathing Indonesian style just isn't as rewarding or relaxing....
Thursday evening we went our for dinner with our friends David and Santi. We went to a new cafe just down the hill from us. Too far to walk though... For $10 CAN we all had a meal, fresh fruit drink, and split two orders of chicken sate! It is so cheap to eat out here. Santi shared with us that her parents are Buddhists. Although not devout, they aren't showing a whole lot of interest in learning more about Jesus. This is very difficult for her and she needs our prayers.
Today we attended church again and the evangelist spoke so fast that we heard it was difficult even for the Indonesians to follow... Thankfully, David translated for us again....



This photo is of Brynnie (wanting to be with Mommy instead) with Ica (short for Veronica) at church. All the girls at church want to touch or hold Brynnie...









This photo is of the room that we have church in.











This is the building that the room is in...

Lieve allemaal, we zijn weer terug van weggeweest en hadden een hele avond nodig om alles over/van jullie te lezen. Fijn dat alles goed gaat, erg leuk om jullie belevenissen te lezen en te de foto's te zien. We kijken alweer uit naar de volgende belevenissen. Het is wel een heel andere wereld waarin jullie nu zijn. Heel boeiend. Knuffels en God Bless! Pa & Ma
