was awoken by the morning sun glaring at my sleepy eyes; wow so this was what five am looks like in Bali. got ready and made a cuppa as i got plugged into the Bible and Jesus Culture for an early starter. we did a little pow wow as a group declaring our desires of what we want to experience on the trip and then off to the airport we go.
the one and a half hour trip was bearable since i am lively (not deathly) afraid of flying, especially during take off -- oh, my, gosh. outside the arrival gates, we waited for Pa Alex who was late for the very first time and that marked out beginning of first timers. dropped our bags at Grace Home Stay, and was amazed that it was pelting outside and since it is summer, rain is highly treasured as it normally results in cool breezy weather.
our lunch plans were quickly altered when we found out that one of our fave place that sells Babi (smoked pork) was all pigged out hence we settled very well in our ox tail soup with fried chicken. Nita arrived half way and we were enjoying being reunited again before heading out separate ways to the 3 difference churches we will be preaching at.
after dropping Pa KH and Pa Lee (Dad) off, Nita, Eunice, Pa Alex (Supreman which is Driver in Bahasa) and I had a mini 45 minutes road trip (or so we thought) to our village which we later on realized the congregation went home early due to the bad weather conditions. another first time to be surprised with an empty church only consisting of the pastors whom we briefly connected with since they were in a middle of dinner.
wells at least the villages had both their short yet lasting spiritual and physical feeding which meant more rest for them when they get home. the lady whom informed us about it actually fell down when she saw a car pulling up. assuming it was us, she ran up and hammered her leg to the ground. was then led to pray for her but we did not have time so i just declared a healing and divine health sealing it with His name.
