INDO done...
ONce again, my apologies. We ended up getting stuck in the Jakarta ariport for one night, they tried kicking us out, but we pretended to be sleeping, haha. but the next day we went to Borneo and then we had one day there where we attempted to have some email time but teh interent was down, adn the next day we left for the villages. So i only got to check my email once and that was two days ago and for only 10 mins. So im sorry.
the villages were nothing short of fantastic. waht more could you ask for: a simple life, you work, come home eat and then sleep. you bathe in the river - some of which you cannot see through, and yuo spend time with your family and friends.
It was great, although bathing in the river i never got used to, but i warmed up to it. the children grabbed our hearts, i jad a favourite his name was Leo - he jsut started walking up beside me one night, and he followed us around, so i brought him in to one of the houses we were visiting. They are so loving. We went to 4 villages, 2 of which had never seen a white person in real life, except for our contact, which is a girl, and so Jordan and i proudly wear the title of first white males in 2 Indonesian villages. Because of this all the children and some adults would stare at you. It didnt matter if you were reading, sleeping, eating, talking, brushing your teeth, or just sitting there, they still were fastinated with you, it was unbelievable. we had a great time with the kids, we played with them, did songs for them and ran a sunday school for them where we acted out David and Goliath. Of course i was Goliath, haha! We also we all able to speak to these village people and went on house visits at night, where we prayed for them, and their families and their jobs. Most of them worked in the rice fields, and extracted rubber from trees. Well all spoke on different topics at church, but they mostly within these villages witch doctors and idolatry is a huge stronghold. So we tried touching on that everytime we talked.
These villages we are all very new Christains, which the YWAM in Borneo started ministry with them. it was such a great expereince.
The Lord protected us in Indo, no wild animal bites, saw some dead snakes, hiked alot through the jungle, and alot of mosquitoes. Although - amy's motorcycle tipped - but she is alright - thank the Lord!
we were able to get a pet dog and named him Duke Jaques Pierre. He was only 2 and a half weeks old.
So we are back in Thailand for two more weeks of ministry underneatht eh YWAM base here. We are really excited to be back here, but missing home more and more and Christmas gets closer and closer. PLease pray for us that we will keep our eyes on our purpose and our hearts.
thanks for your support i will be updateing more often here, most defintely, i promise.
