Rejoice with us brothers and sisters! Our visas are finally in motion! J Miles’ visa should have cleared yesterday the 19th of August, and Dions’ should be 2 weeks behind. We are grateful for the gift of time that is including this rest before we plunge into our new Indonesian life. God is so good and knows just what we need!
What, you might ask, have we been doing with all of our time over here? NOTHING! J
Well, not exactly nothing. We swim in the pool several times a day, read and nap by the pool, spend time on the beach and in the water. The water is so lovely. The part of the beach we don't like is the wind. It is pretty windy in the afternoons here. It clouds up every day but doesn’t rain and it is still very warm. The more clouds the muggier it is. The sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous with all the lovely clouds!
We are having quiet time together each morning. This feels absolutely luxurious as we
have always gotten up @ and Miles has rushed off by . Our relationship with
each other is deepening and our time with the Lord has taken on a new feel as we share
His insights with each other first thing in the AMJ.
We visited the church where Miles’ folks attend last Sunday and then their “Ohana group
(Family, home Bible study) on Wednesday evening. We volunteered 2 mornings at the church, and are feeling like this is our home away from home. Gods’ family is AWESOME! J
Speaking of family, Dion has a long lost cousin who has lived here for 40 years. She hasn’t seen her since she was 8 years old but we met up with her and her husband for dinner last night. We had a wonderful time catching up on family news and they are going to take us to their favorite picnic spot later in the week.
Well, check back next week to see if I am following through to post each week. Remember that we are 3 hours behind the West coast so by the time we have breakfast and quiet time it is already there. Blessings to you all!
Miles and Dion J
