Hey check out my new cluster map. It's found below the Links section on the left hand side of the screen. You can see where the visitors to my site are from! Pretty neat stuff!
I'm not sure who the person in Indonesia is who is visiting this site. Who are you?
We are down one day of spring break and I think our pembantus (helpers) survived. It helps that we have friends down the gong who have a Nintendo game cube with four controllers....
This morning I was talking with the woman who tutored us when we first came here and couldn't start school right away. I asked her what she thought of Easter. She told me that when she was a kid she went to the local christian school as did about 90% of the kids from this kampung at that time. Now the quality of the school has gone down a lot so not so many go there any more. She said that she would go to the assemblies at the school, but didn't really listen or believe what was being said. She said that she was already firm in her own faith. Her opinion is that it's nice that we have something to believe in, but she's quite happy believing in the m*slim faith. She said that when Mohammed died, God asked him if he wanted anything and Mohammed asked that God forgive the sins of everyone so God promised that he would. So if she believes this then of course she sees no need for Jesus death on the cross. She believes that the most important thing is to be good to other people and then to follow the rules of I*lam like praying five times a day and fasting at Ramadan. What would you say to someone like this? Without offending them of course... My initial thinking is this is the kind of thing that requires a long time....
