One busy weekend!

It seems that this weekend has been just been hectic for mum and dad and i have been tired and not the most helpful son. On Saturday dad helped the team move furniture into the new house for the McPhails when they arrive. What was meant to be a 3 hour job turned into an all day job as all the furniture is antique, solid timber that required at least four men to lift each piece! I spent time with the girls and Pete back at the house and helped keep things clean.

After that, dad borrowed the team car off our friends as we were meant to drive 2 hours away to a small town called Cipanas. But because of the rain and the fact that dad was wasted and driving in Indo is not good at the best of times, let alone on a dark, rainy night, we stayed at home, which suited me just fine as i was able to get some good sleep. Mum and dad watched a dvd called "Facing the Giants" which made them both cry! They said the movie was a bit corny but had some really powerful messages about trusting in God.

Anyway, the next day we put our trust in God as we jumped in the car to drive to Cipanas. This was not the most memorable car trip for me as I was uncomfortable and didn't want to sit in the car seat so I decided to cry for most of the trip and then fell asleep about 10 minutes from the destination only to be awoken again! In Cipanas we visited a church and met a lovely older couple who are currently lecturing in a Theological College here. Mum and dad are going to teach an English course here in July and were able to meet some of the students and see the facilities. The students were really keen for God and whipped me away and i played with them for quite a while. It should be an exciting month we have there in July. If you want to join us you can as mum and dad cannot do it all on their own. Check out the website of the school if you like. www.sttcipanas.ac.id

We then got home and dad was busy writing as he had to give his testimony at school the following day. Mum said he did okay!
