This was the scene today in front of the mesjid closest to our house. They slaughtered 4 goats and 1 cow. Then they divided up the meat, by weight, into those black bags to be distributed to all the families in our RT. An RT is the lowest division in the city. Above the RT is an RW who is in charge of 10 RT's and so on... As you can see from the photos it was a very sterile environment...We have already welcomed in the new year. We lit off some fire works earlier in the evening with the kids. Then at midnight we went up on our roof (it's flat) and watched as a bunch of houses around the valley up on the hills (rich folks) were lighting off some very beautiful fire works. Thankfully, things are a lot quieter tonight than they were last night!
Again, Selamat Tahun Baru from us all down here in Indonesia!!

Glad to hear that you could celebrate New Years Eve without too much rain ..........
we've begun 2007 with another torrential downpour! It's another "pineapple express" they say .....our kids swing sets are swimming in a mini lake! :-)
Hope you have a good year and continue in God's Kingdom Work!
Love, Martin and Nicole
