Picture this.

Outside her home, I am with the mother of the sick child (that child is not in the photo) which I referred to in the previous post.  The mother earns $8 a day rolling cigarettes for a cigarette company.  The co-owners of the company have $11 billion. We talked about that.  

After breaking it down for a while.....I looked around.....and there were people pulled over on the road behind me watching.

Jason's first encounter with cobra went like this.....while the cobra handler looks on unphased.  I guess, it was only hissing and lunging so why not just sit back and have a smoke. 

And then why not kill and then eat the cobra.....i took a pass on the cobra blood mixed with the gall bladder and spinal cartilage.

 Rambutan (a fruit).....how I love you.

Picking some duku fruit with my koran/Arabic teacher.  Forever grateful that I had to learn Indonesian and not Arabic.....and not sure why I would attempt to learn a new language from a man who knows no English.  But it's been a blessing already.  Assalamu alaikum....

I spent a good 10 minutes in pursuit of this lizard....so you better enjoy it!

While this bug, was much more photo friendly.  Guess what plant it is on? Hint: I eat it three times a day.

Door-to-door communion with a pastor and a few other church members was powerful.  It is for those unable to come to church because of health issues.  I have never been in such a small dirty house, maybe 3 meters wide with her bed in front of you when you step through the front door.  We did communion with her on her bed--there is something amazing about doing communion with someone right in the messiness and reality of life.

Walking to another home to do communion, and a fan club started with these school kids.

50 meters from my home, this is the street market.  I declined the attempted sale of a live catfish today.

I journey with the Evangelism group at church ( led by one of my mothers) to a city 5 hours away.  We had a church service with this recently baptized Chinese traditional fortune teller/healer.  

I guess I need a blue shirt, the plaid red shirt just doesn't help me cause in Indonesia.  Here are many of the young adults, celebrating 6 years of there program "Vox Reformata" ( Voice of Reformation).  Mennonite or Christian Reformed?  The lined is very blurred here.
