Singapore... Pyramid...

Singapore this summer went well. Kids got their checkups and I had a MRI done on my knee. The doctor found out that I did not have an ACL and so repaired it. Had surgery 3 days after the initial appointment and now am back home recovering. The part that I do not like at this moment is the wait, 6 months until I can even think of touching a basketball again. Not cool!

We just returned from a week of being in the interior. Every year MAF has a great time as all Papua MAFers get together for a week of spiritual and emotional renewal. A church named New Heights from the US sends out a team to lead the services and look after the children. The amount that this church does for us is unbelievable. We can not thank them enough. The pastor went through Luke 7-10. Amazing stuff. Called to Care is what the team came to do and to challenge us to do in Indonesia. Janna and I came home refreshed spiritually, of course not physically as you do not really sleep because it is too much fun to play games with friends til all hours of the morning. Our kids had a blast. The team from New Heights sends out college age kids to hang out and lead VBS for the kids so that the adults can spend their time listening to the Word of God. Basically we would see our kids at meals only. All in all a great time!!

Well we are back at home now trying to get everything back to normal as we now have two and a half weeks before school starts. Time to get back to work. Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement.
