Hi I am writing this just to let everyone know we are very tired but other than that we are fine. The intensive English Class started on Thursday the 31st at 6:00 p.m. It is going along well. We have 6 students and Sam. One of the students is very bright and I hope she will decide to try to get into BYUH. She has a mind that wants to gain knowledge, she works hard, and does more than asked. There is also a 16 year old Korean sister – she told us she was 18 but forgot to mention that is using the Chinese Lunar calendar – and wants take the TOEFL test and go to BYUH. The rest of them are a mixed bunch. We will know more at the end of the first week.

Hopefully I will find time to write in my journal because there is certainly a lot going on. On Saturday night I spoke to one of the branches about employment opportunities in Indonesia. On Sunday we went to five hours of church and Mary taught a class in Family History. So we are getting plenty of chances to be involved.

On Saturday, Elder Subandriyo – the Area Seventy – talked to the class. He said that he thought their were three keys to being successful in anything in life. First we must be obedient, second we must work hard, and third we must develop a skill. As I have thought about this, I have come to realize it works for just about anything we do. In the Church or in Life. And all of these depend on what we do and not at all about what other do.

Thats it for now –

Love all of you and we need lots more letters from the grandchildren – and more from children of course – with pictures. Speaking of pictures if you are not looking at Olivia’s website you are missing lots of great pictures.
