This week we celebrated New Years Eve! Wow, 2-15 has gone by so fast! I can't believe all the crazy things that happened this last year. I graduated high school, I worked at an amazing store, I went on a MISSION, and so many other great people and adventures made 2015 a great year. 2016 will be so amazing to. This whole year will be spent serving the Lord, doing what missionaries do. It's going to go by so fast, and a year from now, I'll almost be home! I hope all of you had a great New Years. I slept. WE had to go home early because it can be dangerous being out late on a night like New Year's Eve, but we got home all right, but there was so much traffic, it was like 4th of July traffic the whole way home! This is me, eating Cumi, aka squid. IT's so good, it basically tasted like a fish stick in a curly fry form, it was ENAK, delicious. And yes, I cut my hair, really short, because I've been so hot growing my hair out. Ah, I feel so much better now! This is Brother Punijo. He lives a far ways away, but I love going to his house because it's outside of the main city. When we go to his house, I feel like I'm home because it's wide open, there's not a lot of people, it's green! IT makes me happy. We also ate RAMBUTAN! The greatest fruit on earth. It's that hairy fruit on the table. It tastes kinda like grapes, and when you open the fruit, it's white. It's so yummy, I could eat rambutan all day! We got stuck in the rain, so we found shelter as soon as we could. It usually rains everyday, but for the past few weeks, it hasn't rained very much, it's felt kind of like Utah heat. A couple days ago, I got super tan because it was super sunny, there were hardly any clouds in the sky. I like the rain though. When it does rain, it's usually for a few minutes and then it's done, so we were trapped for only a little while before we went on our way. The woman behind Sister Antonio is Sister Atin, she's a favorite of the missionaries because she always cooks food for us and goes on visits with us, she's super awesome, even though for the most part I don't know what she's saying. :o Sister Nainggolan was transferred to Solo on Wednesday, she'll do great there. So now it's just me and Sister Antonio, and it's been the first time I've been in a companionship, since I've always been in a tripanionship. It's taken some getting used to, but I think it will be a good companionship, we'll be doing some great things in Jogja together!
INDONESIAN TIDBIT Fast food places here are different than in America. They are more like a Sizzler's or Olive Garden type of restaurant than a cheap place to get food like in America. They have nice tables and decorations and they look very modern. The food still tastes the same, but places like KFC, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut are really nice places to eat here. Bagus! Till next time, Sister Stringham
