On Friday Hugo and I helped out a new couple that's just come here from New Zealand. They are with MAF and will be heading off to Medan, Aceh when they are done language training. Here you have to show the ropes to all new people or it is incredibly difficult for them to do anything especially with no language. We're still so thankful for the help of the other families when we first arrived.

Friday evening we took the kids to Bandung Hypersquare. There is a playground there with a tree house, swinging bridge, slide etc... But the best part was that there were bikes the kids could ride. For Mikah, Christiaan and Aidan, it has been about 7 months since they've ridden a bicycle. We met our friends David and Santi there for supper and then the kids went and played again.

Today, Sunday, we took an angkot to church and I think we broke the record for number of people on board one angkot. I believe it was 21 including the driver. Aidan was in the front seat, not a bench seat, with two other guys; very cozy... But I think we got to church in record time too as the angkot was pretty much full right away, the driver just bombed down the hill.

Now it is pouring rain. We haven't had a ton of rain lately so that's okay. Tomorrow it is back to school again. We are over half way done!! Yippeeeee!!
