This vacation, I am very glad for an unexpected opportunity to go to Solo! And right now I am staying in Father Alexios' house to learn more and more about Church life. I depart from Jakarta this afternoon and arrived at about 6 pm. What an exciting journey! As I arrived, I was invited to attend the beautiful Vesper Service.
The The brothers and sisters here welcomed me very warmly. I met Esty and Mas Indra, Father Alexios' son and daughter about the same age with me. They're very friendly and we become friends then! I will attend the Divine Liturgy tomorrow together with them in the Holy Trinity Church (which is beside this house! :D). Glory to You, O God! Glory to You!
Safe Journey

ReplyDeleteSteve, my travel is very good. The Lord grants me such a peaceful and joyful moments here in Solo (although I am a shy person, but brothers and sisters here welcome me very warmly!)
The Divine Liturgy is held in Bahasa (Indonesian national language), but at times the prayers also ascended in Javanese language! :D
Please say my greetings to our beloved brothers and sisters in South Africa.
