Tuesday we met
with our language coach at 7. We did go with the Elders to
see Jonathan and while there did a little studying with Stanley. The others
we hoped to see but were not able to were, Alos, who has been having tests at
University, and we were also unable to meet with Rorot, who has been at his
village for the past 2 months. Had dinner at the Coffee Box this evening,
it was pretty good. It is hard to come home anywhere between 6:30 and 9:00pm and then have to think about making dinner. If it was just me I probably wouldn't bother.
Wednesday we had our
meeting with our tutor at 7. With transfers coming up this next
Monday, there haven't been a lot of opportunities to work with the younger
missionaries today.
Thursday, we checked out the Elders apartment this morning, and took the extra bike they
have been using for parts, and worked on it trying to put it back together into
a serviceable bike. So Elder is storing it in the upstairs caged in outside
patio while he works on it. The rear gear shifter is from another bike, and
does not fit very well, so it may not actually work on this bike, but we will
give it a try.Friday we had DDM in the morning, went out to lunch for Padang with the missionaries, it really wasn't any better eating it at the "restaurant" than it is eating it wrapped up to go. Transported an investigator of the Sister's and all her worldly possessions (all fit in the very back of the van), we used the argument that we were taking her to meet with the person who is friend-shipping her and the sisters were going to spend some time teaching them, so we could use our car to transport her. We then picked the Elders up and headed to an appointment to do a baptismal interview, we parked in a different place and some of the kids found us from last time, that took us until about 8 pm that night, on the way home ate dinner in the Chinese Complex near the Mendrofa's, food was so so, and the price was high. Dropped off the young missionaries, and headed home.
Saturday, Got to the building by 12:30 after picking up some cash at the ATM, so we could pay our driver in a couple of days. Did some computer work upstairs, then visited with Chaterine Hutapea for a little while, and pulled the information together to set her up on LDS.org, but had BML at 2:30. Taught English for a couple of hours, Leo, Jimmy and Chaterine were the only ones there. Encouraged Leo and Jimmy to come to church tomorrow, they had been investigators a long time ago, and have been taking English classes ever since. We then got a call from the sisters, asking if we could pick them up at the bike shop, as their bikes were not ready when they got there, and needed to get out to the Mandella area. Picked them up and hit a lot of traffic on our way out, once there we met with an investigator with a flashlight and they were having a blackout. Then back to pick up the sister's bike, at 8pm went to Koki Sunda, it was the best meal I have had since we got to Indonesia, my mouth, lips and tongue didn't stop burning until about 30 minutes after we finished eating. Lots of fruit/vegatables with a sweet & hot sambal sauce, also had Sate Chicken with fried tofu, and a nice fruit drink, plus a resturant where we could eat inside and sit in fairly normal chairs (okay there were no chairs, but you sat on the floor, and the your legs dangled in a pit, but the table was at the proper level for eating at). We went to celebrate the transfer of Sister Jibson (Malang) & Elder Murphy (Yogjakarta). The 6 of us managed to eat all we could have wanted, and the total cost was Rp284,500. ($24). Finished eating at about 10, and got home a little later. We will really miss these two missionaries as they have been with us since we got to Medan. New missionaries to get to know, though.
Our dinner at Kopi Sunda. We had fun and it was good food. Nice to actually eat in a completely indoor place with non plastic seats and tables.
