Yesterday Marion had her first snow, it was about two inches of snow and we all went out to play with the snow but then ten minutes later everybody searched for a warm place which is inside the house. Yeap! we are indonesians.
Right on thanksgiving day we had snow, obviously Lord is teaching us to give Him thanks whether is cold or warm and whether is good or bad.
Happy Thanksgiving day for you, hope you all have a great and a wonderful day with your family and Friends. we are so thankful that we were also able to eat turkey, mass potatoes w/ gravy, pumpkin & apple pie for dessert.
In this last few weeks we were able to joined some of the mission conferences in several churches near Grand Rapids and its more like a refreshment for us and we did feel home sick from some of the presentations too. It opening up our mind about how American missionary feel when they in a mission field, facing all the differences in language, culture, food, political system of the country and away from family and relatives.

Anyway, Nomad is still with his Instrument rating training, he keep brushing up his radio communication(that is the hard part for Nomad but he is getting it) it will take him quite a lot of time to finish up this training. Typical fall weather here is windy and rainy and it isn't a real good for instrument type of training specially during approaches and in the use of radio navigation. He is now also working on his complex type rating which will be need toward his commercial pilot. This training require only traffic pattern altitude in order to do takeoffs and landings.
