Slowly but surely we are adjusting to the time change. I am feeling pretty good today and Jack is beginning to eat more food. THanks for praying! He is napping at his normal times and so we are hopeful that he'll start sleeping through the night again soon! God is enabling us though as we need to get up each night.

Today we are heading into the city again to do some shopping. We are going to the "mall" but this is no American mall. They have all the normal "mall" stores but also a travel agency, a grocery store, a post office, and so many other things that amaze me! There is even a little haircutting place for kids - really fun looking! Oh, and to Joel's delight, they have a Starbucks - our first since leaving the US. He is very excited about it. We've told our hosts of his obsession but today they'll see it first hand. A funny thing, Joel loves a coffee called Illy from Italy and it's really hard to find and expensive in the US. Well I opened the freezer here at the guest house the other day and low and behold, they had Illy in there. Apartently its super easy to get here! Yippy!

We're finding out about a cell phone plan today and also how to get a crib for Jack. We'll definitely be back to Jakarta soon to get supplies we will need but for now will wait to see what we can get in Salatiga and near there.

Have a blessed day or night - whatever it is where you are!

Yea for Illy coffee! I'm glad it's easier to find there. That's one of the fun things about living overseas. We used to get Peter Pan Peanut Butter in Guyana and that was fun.
I'll be praying for good sleep for Jack today. I'm going to bed here but it's morning there. Love you!
