Anyways, apart from our upcoming trip there isn't much to write about. Esther is doing better, she now only uses the crutches early in the morning. Most of the day she's able to get around without them. We're expecting the children's school materials to arrive any day now. It's been quite a battle to get it here. After paying 250 dollars for shipping, we also got to experience some good old fashioned extortion by the customs office in Jakarta. Now, 200 dollars later the package is supposedly on it's way. A school room has been set up at a friends house, and all is ready for them to start the new school year!!
A few days ago we were asked to arrange another trip out of the country to sort out our visas. This is going to be our third trip til Kuala Lumpur in 9 months. So far we've really enjoyed these trips. The visa application part is quite stressful, but we usually manage to get a fair amount of chill time as well. When returning back here, we have to stop by Ambon for about a week. It's likely our family will move to Ambon sometime after Christmas in order to finish up our language and culture acquisition. I visited there a few months back and fell in love with the place. I can't wait to show the Esther and the kids! Anyways, apart from our upcoming trip there isn't much to write about.
