Latest Updates from Holden

So this is the latest news from Holden. I just copied and pasted one of the emails he sent to me. So incase you're wondering what he's up to, here's what he said...

"Yesterday - the jungle was soooo cool! We stayed at Pak Andi's house in the midst of a village out in the Mountains of West Java. He and his family along w/ his brother-in-law and his family are the only believers in that village and the surrounding areas. We arrived there at his hut and then dumped our bags and hiked to the river. I can't begin to tell you how beautiful it was. But more exciting than that was to sit around outside the hut of Pak Andi and listen to him tell us how he was saved and what Christ means to him! We had good fellowship and most of the guys went to bed early, but I was able to talk with Pak Nunu and we had a good conversation considering the language barrier (he speaks English fairly well, but we had to talk slow and explain a lot). Then, me, Matt, Trevor and Nunu stayed up for a long time talking about Asih Pamitran and Nunu was able to write down a lot of names numbers and figures. then we hiked the river this morning and bathed and messed around for awhile ( it was a blast).
The rest of the day was spent driving back to Bandung and then traveling to a quilting station and getting a feel for what goes on there. Me and matt had them drop us off at this internet cafe on the way home so that worked out pretty good. O, and the ride out to the jungle and back was insane... i mean, we took an off-roading jeep and basically went mudding and off-roading through the Mountains for two hours there and back!
Please cont. to pray for us for discernment and also pray for Asih Pamitran - it seems that the Lord is opening up a door for HC to work w/ them and they seem to be solid and faithful to the Lord. Tomorrow we drive to a volcano where we will be camping out. Adjat, a member of Asih Pamitran, will give us his testimony. I'm really excited for this trip as well, so pray for us. Safe travels and all."

Things are going pretty well on the homefront. Azariah got a cold, but he is finally getting better. We have been staying busy most of the time. We go over and see Jen and Jake and the kids a lot. That has really helped the days go faster and not so lonely. We just take it one day at a time and can't wait to see Holden again.
