Hi Ben & Sarah,

I hope you are both feeling better, your trip to the village sounds exciting ... what is the best way to send info to you now?

Perhaps your blogg ... I will try that too.

Do you know that you flight times have changed ...from Pontianak ..

They where 14:55 NOW THE DEPARTURE TIME IS 12:55

Some one from GVI church will pick you up and take you to the CBD accomodation, this is where David and Judith stay on the weekends.

It is a small unit but it is within walking distance from the shops and a great place for you to relax for a few days.

I strongly recommend that you do take a break and rest for 3-4 days as you readjust to a different environment .... Jakarta is everything that Living Waters Village is not .... it's sort of culture shock in the opposite direction, you still need to drink lots and take some salt.

The accomodation at Taman Palan, in the suburbs near the Compassion project is bigger and also within walking distance of the shops but it is much further from the church.

You will need your own towels in both places, but most other things you can get from the shops.

David & Judith are doing an awesome job with their English classes, they have a very full schedule, but they are managing very well.

Can you please get some photos of them and the work that they are doing.

I look forward to hearing more about the second leg of your journey.

God bless you both.
Karen
