A Day in the Life - Quarantine

The first call to prayer goes out about 4:20am, an hour before sunrise. We have 3 mosques in view of our hotel window and instead of all calling together they take turns. 

About 7am the doorbell rings and we find breakfast waiting at the door. This happens for lunch and dinner too. We can choose between a Western, Asian or Kids Menu.

During the day we have been having a Marvel movie marathon. We wanted to watch them all in order but man, there are 19 movies and we can’t do that even being locked in for 4 days.

We have also played cards, exercised, read, practiced math and Indonesian.

Someone did not want her picture taken.


So far, we are doing good to make it to 7 pm before falling fast asleep. Tonight the kids have made a goal of 8pm. Jet lag has definitely hit us hard. But we have high hopes of good sleep tonight. We have great accountability for no day sleeping around here.

Time to go

When you have this much luggage you need help getting it to the airport!

Finally on a plane!  I had to pinch myself!

All of our bags made it!!!

One last visit - ESVA

Bruce loves to fish and he was able to go while we were on the Shore.

Lillian loves to bake and we all enjoy that! We got in a few fall favorites before we head to the equator.

Our trip did not end like we wanted.  Covid caused us to have to say goodbye at a distance and leave early but we enjoyed the time we did have together.

A little shopping before we got on the road.

Thankful we got some time with Jon and Rach before we left.

One last visit - Ocala

The weather was amazing for our short weekend trip to Ocala, FL.  We were able to do one of our very favorite things, kayak on Silver Springs.

Everyone needs a "hood ornament" on their kayak.





The boys were able to share in Kids Worship.

We were so happy to be able to worship with FBC one more time.  We miss y'all!!

Soccer boys

The boys wanted to play soccer so we waited til the last minute and then signed them up.  They are playing on a team together and it was so fun to watch them play today.  They are catching on quick and know what they are learning will come in handy when we get to our new country.

16 years

Today we celebrate 16 years of marriage.  It was such a blessing to watch God provide for each special part of today.  He spoils us!

Celebrate

One of THE best things about our delay has been celebrating with family.  We are not usually around for birthdays but we've celebrated quite a few over the past few months.  We love you Grace.
