One night in Bangkok

 We are at a humanitarian missionary training conference in Bangkok Thailand this week.  On Wed night we were able to attend a temple session at the just-opened Bangkok temple.  It is beautiful. 

That is the moon in the sky.  It brings to mind the scripture about the glory of the moon differing from the glory of the sun.   Or the glory of the temple.
Here we are in front of the temple.  All those curlicues say 'Holiness to the Lord' in Thai.
I like that the Christus figure is surrounded by greenery.  It's very appropriate for SE Asia.

Our session had every chair filled, for a total of 29 senior missionaries and church staff.  The session was in English, but when I got to the veil all the questions were asked in Thai.  I winged it pretty well.  Afterward I couldn't find anyone else that had their questions in Thai.  I don't know if it was a mark of respect, or if they were yanking my chain.  Either way it was pretty cool.

    So glad you were able to go to the temple and be with other missionaries. How cool. Tonight we were at the Asuncion Temple and it was the first time I went through the veil all in Spanish. It is beautiful in any language.
    Love and miss you two.

Learning how to travel on our own.

 Sis Lallatin talked about our trip to Pacitan, along the south coast of Java.  It was our first time using the credit card we were given to use as humanitarian missionaries.  Our first action was to reserve a hotel for two nights in Pacitan.  There were not a lot of options.  We chose one of the cheaper ones, trying to not waste money.  This was our bathroom: As cool as it might seem to be able to shower while using the toilet, I was not impressed.  So, when we needed to stay one more night in Solo before catching a plane home, we went for a more expensive hotel option: (The shower is just to the left, spraying towards the toilet.) Sure enough, we had upgraded.  We now had a wall between the shower and the toilet.  On the positive side, the hotel had a free shuttle to the airport. We are learning more and more every day.

Indonesia is stinkin' HUGE

Image
If you were to lay a map of Indonesia over a map of the US, and line it up so that the most northwest part of Indonesia was right around Portland, you would see that: The island of Sumatra stretches from Portland to Denver; Jakarta and the island of Java stretches from New Mexico to Arkansas; The island of Kalimantan (Borneo) goes to Wisconsin's border with Canada; The island of Sulawesi stretches from Missouri to Canada north of Detroit; And the island of Papua is out in the Atlantic Ocean. This is a very big country. There is a branch in Medan.  There is one in Manado (go to Chicago and follow the pink up until it gets into Canada).   All the rest of the wards and branches are on the islands of Java and Bali.   Missionary transfers involve 3 hour plane rides. This is a very big country. And when the Hastriters go home next month, it will all be our area. How cool is that?!

Electric!

 I'm not sure if Indonesia has electric power companies.   I mean, they must because we get a bill from one every month.   But as we travel around we see things like this everywhere: To me that does not suggest an overall authority in charge.   I wasn't fast enough to get a picture (I was stunned into inactivity),  but I have seen people working on the electrical lines by leaning an aluminum ladder up against the wires (not the pole) with one guy standing on the street with his hand on the ladder (presumably to act as a ground) and another guy standing on the top rung, his leg thrown over the bundle of wires, pulling any wires he can reach closer together with a rope.  I don't think this is a survival trait.   And yet, when I wake up in the morning, my air conditioner is still running.
