Jakarta has had a flood recently and so when we went to Jakarta this weekend we talked to lots of people that had been affected by the flood. We had a great time in Jakarta with Janna's parents. We went to the local amuzement park and the kids had a great time. We also had a great time watching the kids, even though the temperature was hot, hot, hot. Jakarta is close to the ocean and so is at sea level elevation, this means that it is hotter than Bandung that is up in the mountains.
The kids said goodbye to grandpa and grandma which is never easy and we prayed for a great trip for mom and dad. We had a great time together with family and really appreciated the fact that mom and dad made the effort to come. Thanks.
During their time here we were able to experience and do so many things. We tried to show them some of the tourist attractions around Bandung, many of which we had not been to. All the while trying to keep up with language school. Language school continues to go well and we continue to be amazed with how quick our time here is going. Next thing you know we will be in Papua. We continue to dream about Papua and the fact that we are ready to go. Even though we are ready right now to go (in our hearts) we realize the importance of language. The last weekend in Jakarta I realized how much more comfortable I am in this country now that I can speak the language a little bit.
Hope everyone is doing well. We are doing well and continue to be so thankful that you all have supported us in coming here. Without you we would not be at the spot we are and we thank you.
