30 for 10 days....

I have now been 30 for 10 days and my body is already breaking down. My knee is almost better and the foot that I scraped driving my motorbike is also healing nicely. Janna and I are now in units 5 and 4 of 9 that we are required to complete. We feel that things are progressing nicely with the language.

Bandung is in rainy season right now which means that it rains everyday, which is great for the people here. The only real problem with it is that motorbikes are our main mode of transportation and it can get a bit cold when you are all wet. Yesterday our whole family was on the motorbike and we got caught at one of the malls here and it just started pouring. So we were stuck. Good adventures!! The kids have been so good.

Right now we are wondering what to do with Kaya in school. The school that Kaya attends is an Indonesian school that trys to be academic, but she is 3. So I am just wondering if this is good at this age or if Kaya could benefit more from an actual play school. We will see what happens.

Another decision that we are trying to make is one of moving. The electricity in our house breaks the breaker constantly and so it is getting so annoying. Janna really wants it fixed but that would cost some money that we do not have and so our neighbours are heading to Papua in December and our landlord said that we could just move to their house. So we are considering this option. It is a bigger house with less electrical problems and will be better when we have company.

Please continue to pray for us as we consider all the options and try to make good family decisions.

Life goes on...

Sunday afternoons there are guys who play basketball at the school that Jalen attends. This past Sunday I was playing and an old bball injury came back to haunt me. I went to transfer my weight to change directions and sure enough my knee popped out of place. Now for those of you who know me you know that this is not uncommon. It just reminded me that we are in the Lord's hands with our safety.

I must admit that driving a motorbike is a bit more difficult when you can not bend your knee but it does still work.

School continues to fly. We continue to feel that we are learning lots and are glad that we are here learning the language. Janna is a unit where she has to give presentations in Indonesian and next week I am sharing about how God led us to Indonesia in front of everyone. So we feel that things are going well.

Thank you for your continued support.
