Good Morning You All!
Weekend has come and gone and we are into our 2nd week here in the house on Jalan Antasena Salatiga in Java Indonesia......and having a wonderful experience every day!
We enjoyed sweet fellowship at church yesterday - wonderful worship and a good and encouraging WORD from the Lord! We also had a potluck
after service - which was a wonderful blessing for Nick & I meeting more people and just taking in our 'life' right now..... in our new surroundings! We feel so fortunate to experience so many precious people!
On Saturday I had the ladies from the hotel come....Yanti and Tia and they brought
another friend with them....Ana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow - so much fun and I feel so privileged to have them and they said they too are so happy for our time together - they learning English and I learning Indonesian!!!!!
Then today - Monday we met again because they had a day off -

We spent a few hours together laughing, speaking two languages and just having a wonderful and very special time together! What a JOY! I ask questions about pronunciation because putting the right tone and the right sounds to the words is ever so important!
While running around in town either people connect with us with a smile on the street because we have said it the right way - OR - we get this BIG question mark look!
Oh I have good teachers now and they are patient with me!

The tough part is this:
our English letter 'a' is spoken 'a' like we when use the explanation 'ah!'
our letter 'e' is spoken & pronounced as our English letter 'a'
our letter 'i' is pronounced here with our English version 'e'
So you get it? Pretty hard ~
Kiki from the other hotel too had wanted to come and so today Kiki had her day off from the hotel and so she was able to join our little group. Bunga her daughter came along with Momma! Bunga means beautiful!
The garage with full of bikes~
Lessons are over - time to head home!
Bye Bye Kiki and Bunga - see you next time!!!
Thank you for the nice snacks you brought us!!! So' kind!
I had mentioned to the gals how we are having trouble finding the "good stuff" that we love so much.....Sambal Badjak.....and Ana says oh no problem I will bring you some! Well today she spoiled Nick & I with freshly made sambal badjak and it is really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I did my wok special with our veggies and we so enjoyed it Ana!!! Thank you!!!!
It is 9:20 pm - and it is pouring down hard on this roof.....glad I had already taken down the wash!
Oh if you guys could hear the hard downpour...so loud and so much...really!
Time to call it a Day - you all!
Gosh it is November and that means Thanksgiving Day coming up - always a special time of the year! Will be thinking of you all!
Hugs again!!!!!
