07 April 2008 – Monday

The morning was very normal but the rest was pretty much not. We had a good Skype talk with the Rebers and hopefully answered some of their questions. They are moving ahead with their language, learning computer skills, and getting ready in general. Sister Reber asked about working with orphanages and other humanitarian efforts. They will touch a part of the work that we did not get involved in. Each couple is called for a purpose, they will find what their calling.

We went to the office with the intention of a number of things but due to the fact that we could not get on the net. After two hours we gave up and came back to the apartment. This allowed Sam to go do some of the things he needed to do to prepare for his wedding.

We read two more hours from the Kitab Mormon, listened to conference talks, and packed three large boxes of things so brother Wiser can mail them for us. This opportunity to have them sent through his office is a real blessing for us. This means we can ship home almost everything we bought for a reasonable cost. The Lord does watch over his missionaries.  Mary continued to make caps and I continued to try to learn Indonesian. We also were able to talk to Tom’s family – William seems to like to get on Skype and talk to us. Hopefully some day we will understand what he is saying.
