We were delayed by a volcano, Lucky.

Every three months we are required to leave and then reenter the country as part of our Visa renewal process. We travel to the closest major city which happens to be Bali.  We took a day and did some sightseeing. this is the Tanah Lot Hindu temple
This is the Objek Wisata Taman Ayun  Hindu temple
Apparently my knee length short pants were a little too short and I had to wear this ceremonial leg covering.
This is a beautiful statue commemorating the Taman Rama Shinta story
We visited the monkey Park. There was a lot of monkeys  and they were very friendly. We just fed this one.
This monkey had somehow adopted this kitten and now is the mother.
This is a fruit bat. Cheryl said It felt very rubbery.
People vacation in Bali because of the great weather, beaches and the incredible prices. This room was $79 a night and included a very gourmet breakfast and Gourmet lunch.
This is one of our free lunches.
We love going to Bali because it allows us to shop. There are a couple large malls across from our Hotel. This mall had a small snow park.
Snow is so rare hear that they had to put up this sign
We usually had dinner at oceanside restaurants so we could enjoy the sunset
You could tell this was not a California beach. The visitors from Australia were playing rugby
Cheryl got a foot massage
It's always so difficult and sobering coming back to Timor leste. On every return trip one of the flight attendants walk through and sprays down the passenger area with insecticide.

As we were checking out of the hotel on Thursday morning we were told that the volcano on the island had a erupted and caused the airport to close. It reopened the following day but all of the airlines were booked. So, we ended up spending two extra days. We were lucky.

The test

Image
Our students took a midterm exam. Attendance was much greater in each class for the exam then it was for the lessons. For some reason in this culture tests are held in very high esteem. One of our classes has 3 Catholic sisters. After the test they asked to have their picture taken with us. One of the reasons the class interests them is that they will be serving in America for a period of time. Today at church we had our biggest attendance ever. On the front row is Warlito who is a member of the church from the Philippines. On the row behind is Janu our English class assistant, his fiance Zelia and her sister Santi. He's difficult to see but sitting behind Warlito is one of Dominguez's children. On the next row is Dominguez and 3 of her children. On the last row is Eden, Genevieve and Billy, they are members of the church. In the very back by the keyboard is Tara who is a member of the church and planning to serve a mission soon. Those who are not members are show

Holidays

This year we had a Christmas tree. It made our lives seem a little more normal. The two little gifts under the tree are empty. Cheryl just thought we needed some wrapped gifts to make it look better. There's also a small carved manger scene. That was made on a neighboring Island in timor-leste. Last year we didn't put up the tree and it felt terrible. We called our children and my parents on their Christmas Day which was the day after Christmas for us. This Christmas felt so much better. Last Christmas we were only out for 20 days and it felt so lonely and we felt like we would be away for ever. In our church group three of the four adult members are living alone here in Timor-Leste. We had them all over for Christmas dinner. Sitting next to Cheryl is Nikki. She works for the Philippine Embassy. Across from Nikki is Eden. She has three children that are currently living in the Philippines because one of them needs special therapy. She'll be alone until they return th

Fast and testimony meeting Today we attended a remarkable fast and testimony meeting. It was with missionaries from foreign countries who will be assigned missions in the United States. They came to the mission home already knowing how to speak English . They are in the mission home for only 3 weeks. When they bore their testimonies they did it in English and they announced the countries they were from. The countries were Paraguay, Indonesia, Philippines, Venezuela, Fiji, Brazil, Montreal Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan and Haiti. They were remarkable. They all appeared to be very bright and very mature in there gospel understanding and application. A lot of them were assigned to serve throughout California. One of them will be speaking Creole in Florida. One of the missionaries from the Philippines will be serving in our home mission in Sacramento.
