Life here is not fancy just a routine like yours but still an important part in expanding the reach of the gospel to Indonesia since language learning is one of the many steps necessary to accomplish before being ready to begin tribal church planting.
A typical day for us begins at 6, (this week to give Derek his medicine that he has to have every 6 hours around the clock for 7 days). Next Ethan wakes and gets ready for school. At 6:50 we are out the door walking to school in the cool morning air with a couple of the neighbor ladies and their kids. We arrive at school and stay to play and visit a while with the other mothers several of who are chasing after their kids holding a bowl of rice shoveling it into their children's mouths. After our visit Derek and I head for home as Ethan begins his time in full language immersion. On that note he is doing exceptional in language right now and has a best friend named Fadley. So thanks for your prayers!
As that is going on Justin has already began his language study for the day with a tutor that comes to our house at 7. He is there for an hour or 2 and then Justin is out to be with men in the neighborhood until lunch. Derek and I run errands together or play and then get Ethan from school at 10. After walking home we play and just let Ethan unwind from school. We eat lunch together and Justin is off once again to study and comes home mid afternoon for another tutoring session. In the afternoons the boys and I are out in the neighborhood building relationships after I finish homeschooling Ethan. We eat dinner and hang out as a family until the boys go to sleep after which Justin studies more and I catch up on email or watch tv and then off to bed because it all starts again tomorrow.
