Sorry there aren't any pictures here this week, both Sister Antonio and I forgot our card readers at home.
This week has been fairly well, not the best, but that's okay. This week there was a bomb in Jakarta. We in Jogja don't know much of what happened, but I know there was a bomb in a mall and there are a few casualties. We are ok, Jogja is far away from Jakarta, but we still have to be really careful, can't go to places like McDonalds or western-type places. But it's ok, nobody has acted strangely or done anything out of the ordinary in Jogja. This week we tried finding people, because there's no one to teach! What we do is go to a neighbourhood and ask the neighborhood's leader if there are any Christians that we can teach. So far we've tried and haven't really found anyone super interested yet. In one neighbourhood we were told by a very angry man not to come back again "Jangan ke sini lagi"! and threatened us, Even though we already had permission to go there. It's ok, we won't go back, we won't risk it. Yesterday as we were going to an appointment, I couldn't breathe! I kept breathing and breathing and it felt like no air was filling my lungs. I freaked out a little bit, but once we got to one of the member's home, Sister Atin, I rested and my breathing stabilized. I'm ok now, my chest is just a little tight. I called the mission doctor and he doesn't know what's happening with me, from the syptoms I gave him. Tomorrow we are going to the doctor. I hope it's nothing too serious. I almost fainted! Today we bought batik to make into dresses, it's going to be so cool! For those of you who don't know what batik is, look it up, it's so cool. It originated where? JOGJA, super awesome and super cheap here. I'm really excited. I hope everyone is all good in Utah or Europe or Madagascar or Texas or wherever you may be, stay safe and always remember who loves you the most. (answer=Heavenly Father) Love you all more than anything, Sister Stringham
