Idul Fitri is like Christmas for Muslims and is celebrated around the world. Our neighbors, who are Muslims, invited us to eat with them on Hari Raya (the big day). It was a great cultural experience as we visited with everyone and experienced new foods and new culture.

Hi to BM Juneau's
This was just a test project to try uploading videos. Now that we know how we will be sure to do it more often.

Living in Indonesia
Well, so much has happened since my last post. Our family is now living in Salatiga, Indonesia on the island of Java. Paul and I are in language school learning the language of Indonesian and we will be here for one year and then move to Sentani, Papua. Thanks to all of our supporters that helped get us here. Our funds remain at 88% as MAF has increased the requirement by $300/month. Praise God for bringing us here! Pray for us as we continue to transition and feel more and more homesick with each passing day. Darryl starts school at Mountainview Cristian Academy in 2 weeks, Stephan is attending Indonesian kindergarten and Elleah and Grayson are at home with our helpers. Here are a few pictures of us and the city.

The Final Rendevous
We were very fortunate to have the whole Juneau family together over Easter. This meant 18 people in a mobile home. We are hoping to depart for Indonesia in the middle of June, so Paul's brother Jason, his wife Tanya, and their kids Sydney and Rowyn drove all the way from Terrace, BC to spend some time with us. It was wonderful and we can't even begin to explain how much our family means to us. We managed to snap lots of photos so enjoy the show!

The Latest News
We are still working on raising funds to head to Indonesia. Currently we are at 85% of the required monthly support and MAF Canada is working on travel arrangements for us. Due to lengthy paperwork processes, we are looking at departing in mid June. We are still required to raise the remaining support which is $900/month. If you are interested in joining our team just contact us via email at (juneaujourney@hotmail.com) or MAF (see attached link). We would love to hear from you. Here are some recent pictures of our family. As you can imagine, taking care of 4 kids is quite time consuming!
Fun with Fam!
We are very blessed to have a wonderful family. Recently, Paul's brother Barry, Melissa and their 3 girls (Lauryn, Katelyn and Madilyn) drove 8 hours to spend a long weekend with us and to meet Grayson. Paul's parents (Mamere and Papere) were also able to come a visit and together we ate more food then we should have, slept less then we wanted but a good time was had by all.
