We had a nice trip up to Medan. We took some time to go and visited a church that someone told us was really nice. It was very interesting. It was built and is run by a Catholic Father, but it has Hindu architect.

Our friend Purba picked us up after our church on Sunday to take us to the wheelchair ceremony. He had a lunch for us. One of those famous Indonesian lunches where they bring all kinds of things in little bowls and put them on the table. After he said to us do you want some tea or coffee? Elder Subandriyo, Pres and Sister Marchant and the two of us were all there. We said, "We don't drink coffee or tea." He said, "That is interesting, because you all have a light in your face and in your eyes. Is it because you don't drink these things?" We all thought that was interesting that he was seeing that. He is not Muslim. He is Christian and before we ate he said a prayer and when we were through eating he had Ralph offer a prayer. The wheelchair ceremony was really special. I watched as different people came in carrying someone in their arms that needed a wheelchair and it was so exciting to see as they placed them in a wheelchair and to watch the look on their faces. One lady came in crawling on her knees. There were several little children also. It is truly a blessing for them. We don't know how blessed we are until we see things like this. We are grateful for the opportunity we have to be apart of this great work. We watched them as they loaded the wheelchair up on a motorcycle that has a cart on the side of it. They would put the person in the cart and the wheelchair on back of the cart and then they would take off. Friday, they had a district Relief Society meeting and also a training meeting for the Branch Presidencies. It was the Hindu New Year so everyone had the day off. I don't know how many more New Years there are going to be. We have had the regular NY and the Chinese NY, the Muslin New Year and now Hindu. I am wondering what is next. Anyway they all spent the whole day at the church. This happens every time they have a holiday they like to spend it together so they have something always going on at the church. I worked with the District RS Pres and got her to help get the yarn and she made some instructions in Indonesian so the ladies can crochet these little preemie beanie hats. There were about 20 ladies and some of them did OK, but it was hard to help them because they could not understand me. But I hope that they catch the spirit and they are able to make a bunch of them. My idea is to teach these Indonesian sisters how to make them so when we leave they can carry on this project. The district Relief Society Pres was helping too, but there were too many too help.
