The past two mornings we have gone to Ubaya university for a culture exchange program. Their students sang us some Indonesian songs, taught us some of their games ( which Steven attempted to dive across the floor and did the Carlton dance ) , and taught us several different things about their culture. The people here are some of the nicest people I have ever met and it seems to me like they all know each other even though they are strangers. After they shared we sang some songs for them, shared some of our games, taught them the cha-cha slide ( oh yeah ), and shared with them that our culture is not always what they see on the movies. At the end of each day we broke off into small groups. These groups have helped us get to know the students better and get into important conversations. We have plans to hang out with these students, so continue to lift up these relationships to Him and ask for our eyes to be open.
Oh yeah, we went to sing karaoke last night with some of our new friends and it was one of the funniest night of my life. We sang songs from O-town all the way to Elton John. It was a very cool place. We had our own room with about fifteen of us. Me, Buddy, and Steven are thinking about starting a boy band in Indonesia! Any name suggestions?
He is doing work all around this place! And I believe sometimes we may never know how much while we are on this earth.
In Him, Scott
