capek, tapi masih hidup!

well, it's only been 2 days, so there isn't too much to say..but i'll say what's happened. i'm not really allowed to go out and proselyte until the 20th, so we'll be keeping it easy in the house for the next few days. then HOPEFULLY i'll be able to get out and work again....holy cow i'm so sick of that house. yesterday was the indo independence day, and the branch had an activity with lot's of games and contests....i played :) haha. and i won 2nd place in a cruple eating contest (i'm still confused by how that happened...i haven't eaten a full meal in almost 2 weeks). but man, they had some REALLY interesting races....one was where they tied a pencil with a string to the backside of the participant, and then the person had to run to a bottle and try to get the pencil inside the bottle...it was HILARIOUS, and like the person was trying to take a poop or something. haha. indo humor is really funny sometimes.
it was a fun time, but i was exhausted, so we went home and i tried to sleep for a bit while lie showered (it was her bday yesterday, and before we left, one of the members poured flour on her head....lol, she wasn't very happy, but i thought it was a very nice gray color :), then we went out to eat to celebrate lie's bday. after that i was REALLY exhausted, and came home and went to bed.
so this week there have been quite a few new things....sis simanjuntak is on her way here as i type, and will join chris and lie. i'm still not sure how that's gonna work in our little house, but it'll work and hopefully all will be well. pres told me this while he was finding out about how i was doing in the hospital, so when we called to tell lie, she didn't believe us until she called the office. haha. funny.
dad, to answer your questions about bandung....it's like the park city of jakarta...everyone comes here to enjoy the cool mountain air. and it really does feel REALLY good here. it's the shopping center if you want anything, and it's huge. well, by indonesian standards its pretty normal, but to me it's huge. if you look at a map of java, find jakarta, then go to the south, and you'll find bandung. it's the farthest place from jakarta in jawa barat (west java) district, the rest of the branches are fairly close to jakarta. it's a small branch here cuz everyone gets offended easily and refuses to come to church. i'm still very confused here.
ok, well my time is up and i still hafta find carter's address....i love you all very much, and thanks again for all the prayers! you are the support that is my rock while i'm here, and i love each of you so much! have another good week, loves~

  1. Bandung has the best tasting pineapples in the world for less than 50 cents each!
