Well, the last time I wrote I was getting ready to go home and now I'm back already. It was with mixed emotions that I returned to Indonesia. I had such a wonderful time at home that it was hard to come back. Some of the highlights of my trip were visiting New York City, the Baltimore aquarium, going to a baseball game, bowling, and being outside! Of course, the best part was seeing my family and friends. :) The pictures above are from my time in the States. It was weird to be home and see so many Caucasian people and hear English all around me.
The journey back to Surabaya went pretty well. During my layover in Tokyo, I saw a friend from church. It turned out that we were on the same flights from Tokyo until Surabaya! It was nice to travel with someone. We also met a girl who is teaching in Jakarta. We were able to share stories of living and teaching in Indonesia.
God has been good this past week. Even though I have been missing my family, I have been able to spend time with others at school and church. I have enjoyed seeing the other teachers at school again. They enjoyed the Hershey's candy I brought back as "oleh-oleh" from America.
Classes start again tomorrow, so I'm sure things will stay busy at school. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement! God bless!
