Back in Jakarta

 

This is the view out the window of our 25th floor apartment in Jakarta. Its good to be back in the Jakarta Indonesia mission again. We are quickly getting involved in the work here again. We have new leadership for the Indonesia Communication Council so it has been nice to get to know them and we will help to facilitate training. The "Light The World" Christmas campaign has started which probably won't require our direct involvement but we will help wherever we can. We are also planning some trips with our humanitarian missionaries so that we can make newsroom articles from the great work that is ongoing around the country. We will keep you posted as the exciting events of the next six months in Indonesia unfold.

We recieved a visit from this wonderful couple who we have not met for many years. This is Looky and Diana Samad. They stayed in our home in Hong Kong back in about 1999 when they came to be sealed in the HK temple just after they got married. We have kept in touch over the years but never met again until now. It was wonderful to meet them again and catch up on all that has happened in the intervening years. They will be travelling to the states this summer for a wedding of one of their children. Diana's memory of their visit to Hong Kong is sharper than ours and she recalled details that we could not remember. We took them to dinner at Planet Hollywood where our son Paul worked as a waiter at the time. She said that she was so impressed with our boys and wanted her boys to be like Sam and Paul. 

Short post today. I'm sure we will have lots of interesting pics in the coming weeks. We love you all! Take care!

    Who would have guessed that Jakarta would turn in to NYC - and least the skyscraper view that is...

Young Missionaries Returning Home And Searching For Family History On The Far Off Isle of Alor

  I'm sure all missions have traditions when a group of missionaries complete thier missions. In our mission we gather at the mission home for a devotional where we sing, hear testimonies of the departing missionaries and messages from our mission leaders and after the devotional is over the mission leaders cut off the ties and scarfs of the missionaries. This group is special to us because they have overlapped with us for almost our entire mission. The two sister pictured here, Sisters Cook and Pickett, arrived a week after we arrived so they have overlapped for the entire mission. Three of the Elders were in the group that we escorted to the Cebu temple. Hard to say goodbye. This is Sister Sri Anon. She is the Church Historian in Indonesia and she came to our office this week to interview us. She interviews all of the senior couples before they leave and submits transcripts with her Church History reports. Sister Sri is 80 years old and is a pioneer in the Church here. She joined

Final Mission Post

  The picture on the left is our last day in the Jakarta office and in the picture on the right some of the young missionaries stopped by our apartment to say goodbye in the evening before our flight. We left our apartment at 3:00 am on Thursday and arrived at the Salt Lake City International airport 26 hours later at 4:00 pm of the same day. By 7:00 pm we had been released from our full-time missionary service as communication missionaries in the Indonesia Jakarta Mission. People sometimes asked us, "What is the hardest thing you face on your mission?" A mission is hard. We often miss that point when the talk about our missions because we tend to hang on to the sweet memories and not dwell on the challenges. This blog, for example, is written mostly about happy times and uplifting experiences. I will not go into all of the challenges we faced except to say that, for us, the hardest part was being far away from our family for so long; our 5 children, 2 daughters-in-law, 2 son

People Who Help People See

  This week we were asked to attend a special meeting on behalf of The Church. This was the annual opening session of the Indonesian Association for Blind People which operates the Eye Bank. One of the areas of focus of this organization is register people to donate their eyes for cornea transplants after they are deceased. Members or the Church have helped to promote and register people as donors for several years so the organization invited us to attend this meeting. The humanitarian missionaries were all out of town so Cheri and I attended in their place. These are wonderful people, many of them are medical professionals in the field of opthamology. They have been operating for many years performing cornea transplants and gradually increasing donors. A group of blind dancers performed at the event. I admire the people who have turned their hearts to helping these blind people to have a way to develop and express their talents through performances like this.
