Bandung

I have been here now for almost a week, and it has been a wonderful experience. I have been re-adjusting to the culture and the way of life here, and I am finding that it is not as hard as I was thinking that it would be. There have been a few challenges...getting used to having chilly first thing in the morning and things like that, but for the most part it has been pretty good. 

We have been in a neighboring city called Subang for the past few days visiting Vonnys' family and helping them with their business. We passed a hill after hill of tea gardens, and yesterday we went to a waterfall to go swimming. I believe that there are some things that really are worth an hour and half in the car for 15 minutes in the water. There really is nothing quite like it. At the Tea Gardens

I have been so appreciative of Vonny and her family, they have not made me feel in the way, or like they did not want me here, in fact they have been having fun trying to figure out which English word to use in order to say what they want to say to me. I have really been enjoying my time. It has been a lot of laughter, food and bran new experience mixed with re-visitation of things that I enjoyed the last time. 

Today we are headed back to Bandung, and will possibly take a side rout and see the volcano here. I am really not sure how the rest of my time here will pan out, but I have no doubt that it will be good. I have had some really good times of prayer, and I have also made some really good connections with the people here.  I love and miss you all and I am praying for you all the time. I will post again soon. Love, Steph.
