Today begins the second official week of living in Sentani.We moved from the blue island to the orange island. We live right on the border of Indonesia and PNG. This past week we met alot of different families. They really made us feel welcomed. Saturday night they showed a movie up at the international school. It was just a relaxing time.
On Sunday, we went to the international church. We were so used to going to an Indonesian church that we showed up late! Showing up late in a national church really means showing up on time. The believers shared in remembering the Lord's supper. This was special for us, because it was our first time in Indonesia.
We got an email about our things we shipped from the blue island to the orange island. It basically said, " Your stuff has been shipped, but we apologize because there might be a chance your stuff didn't make the boat. If it did make the boat, your stuff might be there tomorrow. If it didn't make the boat, your stuff will be there May 4 or 5." Interesting, huh? Life is a little different here. Patience is a life lesson here. Everyday is the classroom.
Today I went to the pool and did water aerobics- me and five other ladies. I was definately the youngest there. I might have been the only one not wearing a swimsuit with a skirt on it. It was lots of fun! I didn't know how much work it would actually be. Let me tell you, it's a lot harder than it looks. It was a nice way to get some exercise in and cool off at the same time. It was a nice pool, and I haven't been swimming in a long time. The pools on the blue island aren't heated so normally they are freeeeeeeeezing! The pool on the orange island is heated by the sun, so the water was sooooo nice.
While we were there these clowns showed up.
Just kidding! They weren't there :)
This is what it looked like:
Just imagine me in the very back row trying to figure out what is going on! It was easy to catch on to and lots of fun :) Maybe I'll go again on Thursday.
