Take a look at what we found outside the Hostel today.  God is so very creative!  You should have heard the noise it was making.  Kind of like a cat hissing.  I am not exactly sure what it is called.  Anyone know?

So, on Friday we hosted a Skate Night for the community.  Wyatt's class and I were in charge of making all of the soft pretzels.  We sold 150 and ran out.  We could have easily made another 100 and they would have been sold.  Everyone loved them, and the kids had so much fun skating.

Tomorrow is a holiday here in Indo.  It is Election Day.  The Presidential election is in Oct.  This is for House of Representatives, and Mayor etc.  Shops will be closed, and people off of work.  There have been a lot of demonstrations going on for the different parties.  So far everything has been peaceful.  

We have water again.  Thank you to those of you that prayed.  YEAH!  Life is better with water.  Especially the Living Water.

Garth and I did a skit on that in church on Sunday (John 4).  He was Jesus and I was the woman at the well.  (Glad it wasn't the other way around.  I would not make a very good Jesus. Haha.)  The speaker in Church was talking about how the woman at the well has had five husbands and the one she has now is not her husband.  She is looking for something, but not finding it in men.  She is missing something and looking in the wrong places to find it.  We are the same way.  What is quenching our thirst?  What substitutes are we using to fill that need?  The gift that God can give us will satisfy us completely.  Nothing else will.  We can spend our life trying, or we can run to God.  In God's arms we can find true contentment and joy.  That is the best place to be!

Love you-
