We have a huge answer to prayer - our visas have come in! It took a total of about 10 days from the time I sent it in to the time they were sent back to my parent's house. We were told to expect the process to take about 6-8 weeks. I think that if you include the work done in Indonesia, it probably did take several weeks. But we are so thankful that this last step has already been completed. Please pray for the rest of our team to be able to get their visas in a timely manner. God has been so gracious!
We ate octopus last night! Kadin and I just ate a small tentacle. We were at the Grand Buffet, eating out as a school team. Our family had never been to such an interesting buffet! It was a Chinese restaurant, but it included everything from pizza to octopus. The food was great, and it was fun to simply hang out as a team. After dinner, we went to NICS' home office. It was neat to see the place where the folks we have been talking or emailing with work. They have a wall with a map of the world and pictures of the NICS schools. I included a picture of Kadin and Erin looking at the map.
Today is Kadin's birthday! Erin has worked the party out for today. Just a few minutes ago we saw him and his friends having a party. I will post a few pictures below. All week long the kitchen staff have come out clanging pans and singing happy birthday to the (un) lucky person in the room. Tonight, the staff will have a small cake for Kadin when they " surprise " him. Even some of our Bandung team got Kadin a gift!
PFO is going strong, and we are learning a lot. We come home exhausted each night.
Below are some pictures - from flying kites to the party Kadin had with his new friends. Thanks for your prayers and support! God bless you and have a great weekend! -mekj
