Apa Kabar (How are you?)
I'll start from last Monday. P-Day Was awesome! We went to this place (taman mini Indonesia
indah). It is an Indonesian park and has all the cultural cool places and
buildings in the park. So I basically
I saw all of Indonesia in one day! The
park was empty, but on the way there we
had to take a tour bus except it was very way old, (oh look there is a
kitten that just walked into the internet cafe and jumped on my lap ! A cute little guy!)
DANG!!!
I scratch this kittens head once and now it won’t leave me
alone. It’s jumping all over me and my key board and
sitting on the computer. Too bad I can’t
teach this little guy my message!
Anyway, on the bus I
bought some gorengan, it means fried things. The beauty of it is, it’s cold and you have
no idea what it is you're about to eat.
It’s always a surprise! At least
until you can fully understand what they tell you it is, and that's not me yet!
Once we got to the
park we just did what anyone would do, looking around and what not. Then our friend Danny showed up and he’s got a
car thank heavens. So, we left the park and he asked us what we
wanted to do. He speaks perfect English because
he went to BYU Hawaii and we met him in the ward. I said, let’s go somewhere crazy ... so we went off to
this little mountain village a few hours away and we hiked up into the jungle
to these awesome waterfalls !! We
explored them all around them. It was really
high up so the whole mountain was foggy and misty and raining and COLD
like 60 degrees, which is amazing
when it’s usually 90 degrees. Then he
told us about this pond with fish, little fish that eat the dead skin off your body, so we wanted to try it.
It was weird and crazy! You
stick your feet in the water and about 60 fish come up and start eating your
feet! After that we went to the
"best nasi goreng" in town (fried rice) It was pretty good!
After that we went to get roti something. I forgot but it translates to
burnt bread. Anyways it was great I got chocolate banana cheese milk
bread (they all had cheese) anyways it was awesome and tasted so good!
It had been raining all day (thought I'd add that :) lol Then we
went home and went to bed!
Tuesday- Pretty normal day ... normal
morning routine and then Hasibuan and I went out proselyting . No luck with
anything, but still trying . (slalu coba) try always!
Wednesday -I went on my monthly split with
Mendrofa. We went way out of town to go visit a new member and he wasn't
home. Then we went and visited a few non active members then we went
proselyting. It was a cool day cause there was the thickest blanket of fog
over the whole town the whole day ! Well we weren't having any luck so we
decided to walk through some little villages or something. Idk what you would
call them and I played a little bit of fut-sol with some kids about 11 or 12
years old and they owned me! So we invited them to English class.
Then on our way home we just sat at the bus stop and would talk to whoever
would sit by us .... so here I am sitting alone at a bus stop cause Mendrofa is
on the other side and a group of teenager guys come and I heard one say
"look a white guy!" (but in Indonesian). They sit by me
and are saying, "I wonder if he understands me"? and I was like "ya saya mengerti kalian". You should of seen the looks on their face! So I asked what they were doing and what's up? We talked for an hour! Turns out they are all Muslim
but want to come to our English class! I also learned some Arabic from one of
them so that was cool. Then we went home and we decided to walk instead of the
bus. It was 6 miles! Good little work out.
Thursday We have an investigator she's a Muslim girl who started
coming to our English class and now is taking the lessons! We had a lesson
with her today and she came to church last Sunday. A lot of new people showed up too! I've been passing out cards
like crazy!This little kitten is still hanging out with me ! Except it's sleepin in my shoe now (we have to take our shoes off) I wish I had my camera!
Anyways yeah
English class was good Thursday.
Friday- Got sick again
bad-_- so me and my comp just studied all day and the other
Elders did as well because of how hard it was raining.
Saturday &
Sunday - I was just was a
missionary, nothing new or strange. Pretty normal . Sorry no pictures! I'm working on the camera thing. Thank you for all of your prayers, love and support. They really do help me!
Love you all - Elder Jones
