22 January 2008 – Monday

A normal day of IEC. Our office looks like a paper storage area – a not very neat one.  Neither of us are Chinese. One of the most positive things is that they seem to really be trying to speak English even when they are not in class. They also have a very positive attitude and we have a lot of fun – even when we are doing serious work.

 After the last period they dropped us off at the apartment and headed off to their FHE. We then spent the time reading the Kitab Mormon – we are about where we should be at this time. Mary spent much of the night working on High School English class activities and I spent time trying to get my main journal up to date.

We got a great letter from the Taylors in Yogja about their first week of HSE. They managed to get all the potential students to the class. They are really committed to the program and with sister Taylor’s creativity – she meantioned that she at one time wanted to be an artist – they will do great. It was a big boost for us – especially Mary who has put so much blood and sweat into providing quality teaching activities and suggested class outlines. It will be great to go to Solo and Yogja next month to see how the classes are doing.

I wish I could look 10 – 15 years down the road and see how it helped the students and the Church in Indonesia.
