The second Sunday we were here, we were lucky enough to attend a conference where the district in Jakarta became a stake. And our branch became a ward. Elder Bednar came. He said wonderful things about Jakarta, and how excited he is for the progress of church membership here in Jakarta. There is still a lot of work to be done, but there will be a temple here someday.
We got to use translators...
The first time G wore headphones, he was on a plane and had his own TV. He was probably wondering where the movie was showing.
Funny. All the headphones were placed in the middle section, right up front. So there we were, a bunch westerners right in the middle of a huge room surrounded by Indonesians. I think they were worried we wouldn't stand out enough, so they gave us big headphones to wear.
The cool wall in the building where the conference was held.
They handed out a piece of paper with the Indonesian lyrics to the hymns. So I sang hymns in Indonesian! It was cool.
Elder Bednar speaking.
That's his translator next to him. The first thing he said was, "Selamat pagi." And the translator said, "Good morning." It was funny! Promise.
And the people in front of me didn't have green hair. Don't know what's up with my picture.
A cool tree outside.
The fam by the cool tree.
Just another picture of the cool, interesting, unusual greenery Jakarta has.
