Last week our friends David and Santi took us out for dinner to a restaurant called The Valley. We had a great night time view of Bandung and the steaks were good! We've really enjoyed getting to know this young couple. They are really great friends and we will miss them. They plan to get married November 8, 2008.
On Saturday one of the teachers at school finally got married. The one who had been dating for 12 years... Love the outfits they wear eh? Anyone involved in the wedding-relatives and helpers like guest book attendants all wore the same outfits. Bright blue with gold. Yikes, not my style... All the women are completely made up to the point that we didn't even recognize someone from school that we see almost every day! They even wear fake eye lashes and they all look the same.
At church today they asked us to say some words after the service was over. So we did our best to express how we felt, off the cuff... I think we did okay... After that one of the Evangelists who is actively involved in this little church said a special prayer for us. It was nice. I guess our faithfull attendance, even though we have to take public transportation, made an impression on them. Then of course we took some photos. That's what the group photo is all about. Just a bunch of people from church that were there every Sunday. It did feel weird that it was our last Sunday there. The week of "lasts" has begun....

Wow ...hard to believe you're moving again. Does this bring back memories of your "last" Sunday in Aldergrove? your last week/day at home?
All is well here! Sterkte with the last minute things and God's blessings as you move to your new home. God be with you!
