Rain and House

Two weeks ago marked the start of rain season. It is now my pleasure to return home every night completely soaked. Rain obviously makes contacting people more difficult, but I have come to learn that the more we sacrifice for something, the more we are put in a position to receive.

This week while out contacting I had an interesting experience. A man I met with asked me two simple questions:
"Where did you come from, and where are you going?"
I ask all of us to take a moment and ponder on this. Do you know where you came from? Do you know where you are going? Examine the doctrine of Christ and seek answers to these questions. Become a student of the scriptures, ask God in prayer, and find a greater self identity.

I have had some people ask about my living conditions here in Indonesia, so here are photos of my the house we rent. This house has been by far the best home owned by the mission that I have been in so far. Most of the homes here are two stories. The second story in my house only has a small bathroom and some drying racks, because there are no drying machines here.
