This was our latest find at the grocery store. No we didn't buy them but....
....Elder was surprised to find them on his dinner plate at Raja Ayam when he ordered Roasted Ayam.
This is Chomper, our little cicuk. We haven't seen him much in the apartment anymore, probably because we keep it too cool. He is alive and well in the hallway with several of his buddies. He is about as long as your finger, tail and all.
Last week we attended the wedding of our driver's sister. It was held in the chapel and she looked beautiful in her Indonesian wedding dress. The couple sat in front facing us, with solemn expressions the entire time, while three speakers gave marriage advice. The Bishop then married them in a very simple ceremony. There was a reception party outside with a full meal of typical Indonesian food. Indonesia does not recognize a temple marriage as legal, so couples have to go to the temple after the civil ceremony.
We spent the majority of our time last week preparing family history training. We are just about done with the second pass!
We are getting lots of practice shooting from the hip. We were asked to give talks in sacrament meeting during sacrament meeting in our visit to Semarang. Three times we have been visting a ward's Family History class and they had an opening prayer and then just turned it over to us with no warning to teach the whole lesson. Maybe if we understood the language better, we would know what is going on?????
It feels a little like the members must have felt when Brigham Young got up in conference to list the people who were being called to missions or to go settle some faraway corner of the West.
