We may not have snow for Christmas here in Indonesia, but we do have Santas and reindeer. Christmas decorations can be found in the malls, and some of the stores have a small collection of trees and ornaments.
We made a quick trip to Jakarta to renew our Indonesian IDs and saw this amazing display in a mall that had 8 levels. Merry Christmas, Indonesia!
This picture is for our grandson, Logan. He was so concerned about where we were going to put our presents when he heard we didn't have a Christmas tree, that we went right out and bought this one. Grandpa was quite proud of his light stringing!
While in Jakarta we stayed at the mission home which is in the same building as the mission office. This is Ida who works in the office and also has the calling of Area Family History Advisor. She has been so supportive of us!
Zone Training ended up being an early Christmas for the missionaries. The zone leaders delivered the letters and Christmas packages from home.

One of the Jakarta wards sent white shirts to all of the Indonesian Elders.
Everyone had fun opening their packages and indulging in goodies. These are wonderful young people who work hard and sacrifice much to share the plan of salvation with those who are seeking truth.

We went back to Jogjakarta to do some additional training there last weekend. We had such fun with these good members! Sister Meike is the lead Family History Consultant. Omni and Rheza are her assistants and they are all very capable and excited to help the members of their ward find their ancestors and prepare their names for the temple!
