BERGLUND BULLETIN |

We are getting nice and "nested" in our new house. I always know I am starting to feel moved in when I start feeling like I have time for the all the "extra's" like baking cookies, scrapbooking, sewing curtains, planting a garden, etc. The garden is so exciting to us because we have never lived anyplace long enough to think of long term garden planting!
The kids have been earning special privileges by learning Indonesian words and it has really been a nice incentive to make them pay attention to the words they hear around them. Caleb is a Whopping 20 lbs (20th percentile!) and is pulling himself up to standing and saying several of words. He is such a delight to the whole family. We have started calling him our "bumble of boy" rather than our "bundle of Joy" although he is that too :-)
Greg has not been able to visit the tribe yet because of the high waves on the ocean, but has been correcting several passages of scripture that have been checked and preparing to print them for the believers there. We are saving and planning for a trip in October for certain, and maybe another before that if we can work it out.
Like you in America, gas prices have been rising drastically here and is now the equivalent of $3/gallon. That may seem like a great bargain to you, but many of our friends here in Indonesia MIGHT earn the equivalent of $100/month and many not even that. And although they don't have tanks to fill, the prices have driven up the cost of food, public transportation and everything else. So please keep the Indonesian people in your prayers. We have also had HOURS of no electricity every day, sometimes up to 6 hours! It is very frustrating to be working hard on the computer and suddenly have the lights go out, not knowing if they will be out for a few minutes, or all day! We joke about a guy at the power company walking by the switch every so often and just flipping it, either off or on. I hope there is more rhyme and reason to it that that, but it doesn't feel like it.
Despite these Inconveniences we are feeling very blessed with healthy children, our new home and most of all the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around us. Please continue to pray that God will use us to show people Christ's love for them. We are praying the same prayer for you!
In Him;
Greg and Pam Berglund
Nate, Hannah, Grace, Katie, and Caleb |
