So this is our last official week in Bandung. It's so crazy. Have you ever noticed that when it's your last week anywhere, you want to sqeeeeeeze as much time as you can with your friends into that last week? It's our last week. So it's jammed pack full of sweet times with friends from here.
In all of the "jammed pack-ness" of this last week, we have elected Thursday to be our offical packing day. No plans are allowed during the day but are allowed that night. The moving company comes on Friday to pack up almost all of our things into a crate that will be shipped from here to Papua... moving is much different on this side of the world. Moving Companies use boats instead of U-Hauls. Friday night we'll take one last trip to the hot springs with some friends. You'd be silly to go during the day, the weather has been warmer than normal. Sitting in a hot spring with the sun beaming down on you doesn't sound very appealing. Who knows what will happen Saturday? A new chapter will begin on Sunday. We'll offically leave Bandung and head to Kuala Lumpur for one week to sort out our visas. We'll arrive in Sentani on March 29, after a few hour flight from Jakarta.
We've just started watching LOST, too. This isn't bad, but it's during our "jammed packed" last week. We've paced ourselves. Lots of people love that show. After only watching a few episodes, I guess I can understand why. I think it's different when you watch them on a dvd, because you don't have to wait in suspense for a full week you just hit play all and watch the whole thing. So, I'm not sure how I feel about LOST, yet. I do think JJ Abrams is really talented. He can make shows like Felicity (and we all know what that show is!), Alias, and now LOST. These shows keep our attention throughout a whole season or seasons, even when the plot turns weird or too sci-fi. That's talent. So, thanks JJ Abrams for making television shows that keep us hooked and entertain us at home of far away.
***EDIT***
So literally about 15 minutes after writing this, our moving company has a rep knock on our door. I don't recognize the guy, so am careful when opening the door. He asks for Josh and tells me he's with the moving co. I gave him Josh's number, and he hands me a sheet of paper with our "updated" shipping date. The date the ship is leaving has been moved ahead, and tomorrow they will come to pick up our things! TOMORROW?! we were expecting FRIDAY! so we were... what's that word?... oh yeah,

"But the LORD's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken." Psalm 33:11
"We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps."
Proverbs 16:9
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Here's a great quote that I will leave you with:
"Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it." Harry Emerson Fosdick
