Laurel says:

Friends, going to malls, swimming pools and taking weekend trips.

Eleanor says:

Friends, going to the pool, and the cats in the neighborhood

Caroline says:

Friends and gymnastics class.

Kermit thinks:

While he doesn’t talk yet, my guess would be the abundance of bananas here and our cat, Ginger.

Kali says:

Hands down, my favorite thing about Indonesia is the people. Indonesians have been so kind and friendly to us ever since we arrived. They are gracious with our language or cultural mistakes. They dote on our children. While we stick out wherever we go, we have always felt welcome.

My second favorite thing in this country is the food. I enjoyed mildly spicy food before we arrived here and now I crave the spicy dishes that are made here.

Matt says:

What I like best about lining in Indonesia is the opportunity to teach those who joyfully desire to learn about and proclaim the story of Jesus' death and resurrection for us. The humility and friendliness of the people here combined with the deep faith in Christ that the Christian minority has is inspiring. I also enjoy that so much of Indonesia remains very local. Each city provides it's own unique foods and customs that have not yet been corporatized which makes for unique discoveries and experiences everywhere you go.
