Returning to Indonesia

After some 24 hours on an airplane, we are back in Indonesia. Day has become night. Spring has become summer. And English has become Indonesian.

But as we start our second term here, so many things are so much easier. No language to learn. Brad is already a pilot experienced in flying in the jungle of Borneo. Our house is set up. And we’re actually experienced parents now…at least for months 1-11 with this particular child.

We still have to remember to drive on the “wrong” side of the road. And I (Rebecca) keep turning my windshield wiper on when I mean to use the blinker. But in many ways, we feel like we’re coming home. And with a furlough that has refreshed us, we are patient with the things that bother us. And we found that we missed many things about our lives here.

As we begin this next term, please keep certain things in your prayers:
-Safety for Brad as he begins flying again here.
-Unity on our team of MAFers.
-Opportunities to share about God’s love with our friends.
-Wisdom for us as we are parents to Evan.
-That we stay refreshed, patient and encouraging to others as long as possible.

Also, we love hearing from you, so please feel free to leave your comments, questions, etc. on this Web site. We plan to keep this site updated at least once a week so that you know what is going on with us.
