I bought this blanket on Christmas Day 2009 in Indonesia right after hiking up a mountain to view an active volcano. It holds many memories.

Haiti & Indonesia Unite
My sister and I are sitting in Break in Time cafe enjoying carmel macchiatos and nacho platters.
During this time, we are sharing wonderful memories of our respective YWAM outreaches - Haiti and Indonesia. She will tell an awesome story or memory, and then I'll respond with a story of my own.
We talk about our team members. Things we did on our teams for entertainment. The types of people we met. It's interesting to note that both of our outreaches spent one month in one location before switching to another. We also both agreed that the second location was the best.
It is definitely a blessing to be able to share these experiences and stories with my sister.

Revisiting Indonesia (Eat, Pray, Love)
Just got home from the movie theatre, and as you can see from the title, the movie was the fall film starring Julia Roberts - Eat, Pray, Love.
My criticism:
Too much “smorgasbord religion-type-themes”.
Now my favorites:
Just a little clarification for anyone who hasn’t seen the film or know what it’s about. It is the story of a middle aged woman’s travels around the world over the course of one year. She begins in Italy where, I quote, she has “a love affair with food”. The dealing with her past happens in India. And the final destination is … Bali, Indonesia! By far my favourite part of the film.
Seeing those rice fields, the palm trees, rocky/dirty paths, beaches, brought me back to six months ago. I got extremely nostalgic when there was a scene in a marketplace and there was durian fruit and mangosteins being sold (sorry that only 14 of you will get that). Haha, I giggled when one of the characters drank a beverage out of a plastic bag with a straw.
So, I know that it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But I also know that my dad actually told me to be quiet when I was getting too excited. What can I say? She said “Terima Kasih” and I knew what that meant (Thank You)
