Hi everybody! This was a great week! The most amazing thing is we have 3 people with a baptismal date for September! And we have a couple about ready to accept the invitation as well, we just haven't seen them in a while. So we have 2 kids about 9 years old who will be baptized in a couple weeks if everything goes well, and a woman a week later. Her husband wants to be baptized too but he wasn't home when we visited them. Everything's just awesome here in Solo! I truly know when we work for a good cause and don't give up, we will be blessed and usually we will see the affect of our efforts. It reminds me of a scripture. Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying a foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. D&C 64:33 I know for all of you, when you go out and share your light and go about doing good, whatever it may be, you are making a difference. Sometimes you may not see it for a while, but everything you do can become a great blessing in the lives of others. Don't give up! We headed to Tawang Mangu on Wedneday for Independence Day with Solo 2 Ward. You could say it's kind of like the Park City of Indonesia. We rode a bus there and we went up into the mountains! I actually got a little bit chilled. Kinda weird here. But once the sun broke through of the clouds, it got so hot! It was really pretty there. I even brought Yechbar Vahl to hang out with us. This is my panorama of the mountains. Pretty cool ya? At the park there, there was this ride thing. I'm still dizzy from riding it! WE had a lot of fun with the members there. We played games and ate together and we got to know the members a little better. We even had an investigator come and brought her family as well! The coolest thing was the members all made the family feel welcome and loved, even though they didn't know them. I love the members in Indonesia! On our way home, we stopped by the pasar, the market, I have to admit I bought 2 more cacti. We also bought some ronde, that drink Sister Solomon is holding. It's a gingery drink with peanuts and jelly stuff and weird ball things, plus the most important part... GULA JAWA (Javanese Sugar). You have not lived until you have eaten gula Jawa.
Okay, that's all I have to say this week. Stay awesome and don't forget the difference you can make in the world! Sister Stringham
