Back to School (but not for the big kids!)

You know your child has older siblings when her most frequently uttered phrase is:

“(insert name of perpetrator) did it!”

***
Today is the official first day of school for the kids. They were pumped. Yesterday they all picked out what they were going to wear and got their backpacks ready.

Yesterday Hugo went to church, there’s no babysit so we are taking turns right now. We are attending a church that is a member of the federation of Gereja Gereja Reformasi di Indonesia. It is a very small church that meets in the home of one of the members. He happens to be the person who deals with flight requests for MAF. This church actually has its own minister. His Indonesian is pretty good so we are able to understand the majority of what he says. Sometimes during the service you have to deal with some loud music from one of the neighbours or stuff like that... There is no musical instrument so we sing acapella. Most of the songs in their psalm book are the same as ours so we are singing the genevan tunes in the Indonesian language. There are a couple other white families that also attend this church so we are not alone. There are also Dutch folks coming fairly regularly to give counsel to the churches here on matters of finances or other church related issues.

That’s the scoop!
Selamat Hari Minggu! (happy Sunday!)
