While some may vote for #1, I'm going with #3. We have been on the go and busy, which is a good thing!
Jim spends most of his time prepping for Bible Studies, fellowships and sermons as well as attending meetings and enjoying face time with students and parishioners.
This week we became a home school family! Our first couple of days went well and I look forward to discovering new things with the kids as we continue. If you home school, please send me your advice!
A friend just got back from the states and brought us lots of "essentials" like microwave popcorn and canned pumpkin (pie for Thanksgiving!)
We are also grateful to "the twins" for taking us on an overnight excursion to the mountainous cities of Bandung and Bogor. It was fun to see new places and the kids got a chance to swim.
Our apartment is finished, but we are still not moved in. We need to have internet and water delivery set up and to make sure the elevators and security are in place. I decided to go ahead with some purchases before we move in. I bought everyone a set of towels and I purchased a crock-pot!! Yesterday we enjoyed corn chowder after the kids carved pumpkins. We then roasted the pumpkin seeds and it smelled like home. We considered turning the air conditioner to near freezing temps to complete the scene, but didn't want to put a chill on our bowls of soup!
We attended a night of Mozart presented by the Aula Simfonia Jakarta with Dr. Tong conducting and met the solo flutist on the elevator. She is from Taiwan and was amazing! Still hard to imagine that we don't have to leave the church premises to enjoy this type of world class production.
