Mertua saya tiba ke Indonesia bulan Jan 19. My inlaws have arrived in Indonesia jan 19th and have been settling in here nicely. It was great to see them again and the kids are having a great time. Of course us getting them from the airport could not be without adventure. The Jakarta airport is not that well labeled and so we ended up waiting at the wrong gate for them for about an hour while they were waiting for us for the hour at another gate. Jalen and Kaya were so patient as they waited and waited and waited. It felt like they would never come.
Mom and dad brought us a bunch of Canadian candy which was great to see. I was pumped. They also brought gifts and other things from Canada, thankyou to all of you who sent them something to bring us. We are very grateful for great supporters and friends. Thanks!
We continue to need prayer for relationships and adjusting to a different culture. We are realizing that fitting in to a new culture is more difficult than we expected this time. We are trying to be flexible with everything but at times are struggling thank you for your prayers.
God continues to be faithful. Language school is going well, Janna is in unit 6 and I am in unit 5. Last Monday at chapel I shared a sermon in Indonesian. So we are seeing some of the progress. Janna continues to be great at the language and leaves me in the dust. However I do not need to rely on her for everything now. In Papua if we ever needed someone to speak Indonesian it was always Janna. It is now to the point where it is equal and I really like that.
Thankyou so much for all you do. We need the support team in Canada to keep praying. Thinking of you all.
