I'm leaving Kamloops in 3 days! The past few days have brought about so many new stresses and emotions. It didn't help that the other Indonesian SALTers and I had to suddenly apply for a different single-entry visa on Tuesday! I still don't have my passport back from the consulate in Vancouver, but hopefully Canada Post will do its job well and get it back to me asap!
Aside from not having a passport or visa, there's packing to be done. I've never packed for 11 months before! What do I need to buy that will sustain me for a year and that cannot be bought in Yogyakarta? Should I pack anything that will be damaged by ridiculous humidity levels? Oh dear...
So the excitement is here- yes - but it's seemingly contained at the moment. I am, however, praising the LORD every day for this opportunity to go and serve in Indonesia. Man, he is doing great things everywhere and we need but to recognize this and join in his grand mission! God desires the shalom - peace, justice, righteousness, mercy - that was initially present in every aspect of humanity and his created order. Let's have a heart that beats in time with God's and crave the world that he made so perfectly! I pray that you all, wherever you are, and me in Indonesia will take every chance we get to spread his love and shalom.
Until next time (sooner than last, I promise) and all for God's glory,
Lisi
