Fidel goes to School

Fidel starts going to school! at the age of three.
It is just a half day class in the morning, from 8:30am to 12:00pm, at Sungai Nibong Gospel Hall.
Though Fidel cried for the initial few days, you are doing well after that.
Mom and I do wish you learn well, especially languages, so that you can have a strong command in language preparing yourself to be preacher one day.

Visit by KongKong and PoPo

KongKong and PoPo visited us from Jakarta during Christmas 2011.
KongKong had a mild stroke a month earlier in Jakarta, and thank God he is recovering well.
Mom must be very happy for them to be here.
In fact, we are all glad and enjoy the time together.
Due to just a short stay, and I was busy at work, we managed to bring KongKong and Popo to two places only for their holiday.

Our new Home

We move to this new place we call home on July 2011.
I want to let you know, son, it is a long journey for dad to be able to commit to this hire purchase, so that you would stay here with a grateful heart to God.

I cannot really count all, but I think it is the 15th times your dad move to different places.
It is not because we came from wealthy family background, but in fact, the opposite, my dad, your grandpa, experienced bankruptcy and loss everything he owned at his fifties.
Since then we never own a house, and have to move from place to place for an affordable place to stay.
Inherit nothing but debts, your dad works hard to sustain family to this day.
Today, we have what we have, is due to God's grace and providence.
The only regret I have after moving here, is that I am not able to give my dad a chance to stay here with us. He was called home by God seven months earlier.

I am not sure whether this will be your dad's last move.
As long as God willing for us to stay here, we enjoy every moment with gratitude.
