Minggu 72

On Monday we had a wonderful day of resting and getting things ready for the coming week.

On Tuesday we went to District Meeting, had lunch and let Elder Barlow have Facebook time to work on the Misionari Medan site.  We spent the afternoon and evening checking out referrals with the Elders.  Unfortunately they were referrals that had been sent on a previous occasion, and visits were already made to these people.   

On Wednesday we bought a "Kembang Goyang" which is a snowflake shaped metal mold to make deep fried cookies. Then we headed to the church and spent our day there and headed home for the evening.  

On Thursday we were able to get Mei to come by the building and bring her mission papers, so we could go over what she needs to finish up to get them submitted.  Later in the day the Electrician came and did some rewiring for the building using a heavier gage wire, then started calling the government to come check out their line running to the building.  I went shopping while they were at the building waiting for the Government Electrician to check out the power.  Elder also dropped off music books that we were having copied so I can teach a couple of additional music lessons.  

Friday morning we went to the Elder's & Sister's homes for inspections.  Then over to the church, to wait for the government electrician to check out our power, he never came.  We let the elders use the computer for facebook time on the Medan missionary site, while they did that Elder finished mowing the lawn & went to  pick up music books for me.  Later we split with Elder Zollinger and we visited with Edi, and then split with Elder Barlow so the other two Elders could go to another appointment because Lucas was stuck in traffic on his way to the church so Elder Barlow, Elder, Bro Manalu and I could teach Lucas. It was quiet hot and humid as the power in the neighborhood was out.  It lasted over 5 hours.  The sisters also have a baptism scheduled for the same day, 31 January.  

On Saturday we found out that Mei had made it to immigration but found out she needs one additional piece of documentation before they will process her passport.  She also got in to see Pres. Rico for her dental checkup.  I taught 2 keyboard lessons today, and then we had an English class.  

Sunday we had Branch council after church and I taught 3 more keyboard lessons.  We are spending the evening getting ready to go to Jakarta tomorrow for Zone conference.
