Home safe...

Well, I am home safe and sound. It is weird that I havent even been home a week and a ton of stuff has already happened. I have adjusted to everything without any problems. There have been a few push backs such as being sick but it has been really good to talk about my trip to people. Thanks to everyone who prayed for me and who help support me. I learned more on this trip about living the life of an m more than ever before. It was awesome and I really would love to go back in the near future.
I am praying about going back there and working. It touched my heart in a way that no place has ever before. I loved every minute of my trip. I miss Indonesia!

last day in Indo

Today is my last day to be in Indonesia and I have to say I am sad. I have had a great month here. A bunch of us met up at Starbucks this morning and then had some lunch at the mall. I ate McDonalds because I am not sure how much I will be eating in the next few days due to nasty airline food.

Pr*yer Request:

My luggage will NOT get lost.
No delays with my planes.
Safe travels.
Friend who is feeling lonely in this country (american)
Not too exhausted because I start school right when I return and to get over jet lag soon.

OKay, thanks!
I will try to update when I return to the states.

my new nickname: "Griffindor" its from Harry Potter....lol

rainy season songs are in the air....

Well, its still rainy season and will be for a while here in Indo. It rains everyday. The other day Boyter and I decided to go to the mall on her motor bike. It was so beautiful on the way there and the wind felt so nice on our faces. Well, low and behold the bottom dropped out during our time in the mall. We decided we would wait a while and see if rain would slow down some or stop....but of course it did not. So, we had a fun ride in the pouring down rain. (2nd time to be stuck in the rain in 1 week)

I cant believe that I have 2 more full days here. Everything has gone by so fast. I am pretty sure that I have grown more in this month than in the last 6 months. I have learned soo much and it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Yesterday we hung out at a University with a bunch of girls. It is pretty cool to see their campuses and to see how everything runs (especially b/c im still in collge). The first full day that I was in Indo we hung out with a lot of University girls. Some of the girls asked me what my faculty was. I was thinking in my head...."why do they want to know who the faculty is at my school, they dont even know which school I go to." hahaha....yeah well, I asked Boyter what they meant and they meant what is your "major." So, Hannah when people ask you "what is your faculty" just say communications. lol

Today we are going to church and then we are having dinner with a friend. I am excited about this dinner because its a huge buffet and everyone says that it is soo good. We are all 3 excited because we have never been there.

Okay I am going to get ready for this wonderful day.
