Anjing dan kucing (dogs and cats)

Sean took this picture of these adorable puppies the other day. They are somebody's pets. That's right...this is what I tell myself so I can sleep at night. The other day at language school, one of my classmates was sharing a story about seeing a dog get run over by a guy on a motorcycle. He was telling the story (in his limited Indonesian) to one of the sweetest little Indonesian gals that I've met. She's kind and thoughtful and polite and a good teacher. As the story went on, Ibu Tasya was smiling and nodding. We were all waiting for her to exclaim, "Oh, the poor puppy! Was he okay?!" But guess what she said? "Oh, I LOVE dog meat! It's my favorite. I don't like the small dogs, but the big dogs are so tasty!" We all sat there speechless, waiting for her to laugh and say, "Just kidding!" She did not. We went on with class as if she'd just proclaimed that she really enjoys eating a good salmon fillet when she can get one....

So, okay, I'm panicking

Brooklyn turned six last week. It was a happy occasion. I decorated. There were plenty of princesses and pink stuff. She got a special birthday outfit to wear. And plenty of other gifts too. Of course there was a party - well, as much party as two sets of grandparents and one set of parents plus two baby sisters can provide. Her cake was strawberry, just as she requested.

She looks more and more grown up and I can't stand it. I love this little girl. I'm proud of who she is. I can't wait to see all she becomes. But I'm not handling things so well. This growing up stuff is for the birds. Today, we went and registered her for Kindergarten. Kinder...

Well, I mentioned that we were in Idaho for a special reason. Here's a clue.... That is a Quest Kodiak. It's a new airplane....very cool and I'm really not that into airplanes. But we didn't go to see the Kodiak. The Kodiak is tool. It's a special airplane - the first to be designed and built for bush flying....mission flying to be more specific. And that would be one of the first Kodiaks to be used in the field by Mission Aviation Fellowship . That particular airplane is, I believe, on its way to Papua, Indonesia. Which brings us to the real reason we traveled to Idaho. We were at MAF headquarters. Rejoining MAF. That's right. Sean and Becca are at it again! We're MAF missionaries once again. And it couldn't feel more right . After much (much, much, much) prayer, we came to an important realization. We're called to foreign missions. As wonderful and truly blessed as our past year back in the States has been, we now know that God didn't ...
