This week's been pretty good in Jogja. It's Sister Antonio's last week this week in Jogja, she'll be transferred on Thrusday. I'll talk about that later. And now, the greatest news of all... (drum roll please) I'm going to be training a new missionary! Her name is Sister Xiaou. She's Chinese Indonesian but has lived in New Zealand for the last few years. I'l meet her on the 31st and she will be my responsibility for the next 3 months. I'm super excited, but I'm also a little bit nervous too. But it'll be a great experience. That means I'm going to be in Jogja for a total of 7 months, so the combined time of Jogja and the MTC will take up half of my mission. Wow, it's going to go by so fast! This week we also went on splits with the Sister Training Leaders from Jakarta. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't know what to do with all the time in the day, because we had already visited the investigators and members that we usually visit that week, but it all worked out. It was really fun to teach with the STL, too. I learned a lot from her. We ate dog meat this week! At a member house as we were eating dinner and then her son came in and served us dog meat. Ah! It tasted fine, just like meat with a lot of spices. But l I could think of was Eddy as I was eating it. Oh sad... This week we went to Sister Atin's house in Imogiri. It was about an hour bike ride away. Sister Atin always helps with the missionaries and always likes to feed us. She stays in a little apartment that's close to the church so that she can work, but her actual house is in Imogiri. We rode there and she took us on a little tour through the mountains. It was really cool! This is Sister Antonio and my reaction after President Donald called Sister Antonio about transfers. She's going to JAKARTA. hahaha. Jakarta's a hard city to work in and it's hot and big. I don't know anyone who has a big desire to work there. But, Sister Antonio's going to work in Jakarta for the next few months. haha. But really, she'll do great and make a difference in the lives in Jakarta. Good luck SIster Antonio! We went to Borobudur again today because the Sister Training Leaders wanted to go there. It's still beautiful but so so so hot. But ya, we have to go now, Mari!
