The time in Bali passed quickly! I met with Rita, my web master, for dinner the first night, contacted Pastor Ed to make arrangements to meet to go on retreat the next three days. We made last minute arrangements to visit at Rus Alit’s Appropriate Technology site, which doubles as a retreat center. Details about Rus and the Appropriate Technology site are on Unexpected Treasure blog, link at right.

Friday evening and Saturday I had meals with various friends I haven’t seen for some time. Saturday evening I was requested to minister to a young woman, who wanted to be free from outbursts of anger. Sorry, but I can’t reveal many details of such ministry, it is private and I respect confidentiality. Sunday I attended church, going early hoping to be able to talk with friends before the service, but no one was there! I failed to consider that Indonesians ( and visitors once here for awhile) seldom arrive on time for anything.
Not to worry, after church I was inundated with friends who greeted me, requesting prayer for themselves, or introducing me to friends who wanted prayer. When you make it known that your favorite hobby is praying for people, there is no lack of willing candidates!
My friend Emmy had a late lunch afterward and delivered me to the airport, where I caught the plane back to Surabaya to overnight before a flight to Jakarta, where I met with the FLO leader team who took me to the airport for my flight out to Taiwan, where I overnight and then on to Hawaii, arriving before I depart from Taipei due to crossing the international date line.
