One village near Merapi

I visited a village near the mount merapi with church people 2 weeks ago. We were told that there would be no toilet but phone reception was awesome!! The first thing that i wanted to do when i got to the village was to pee (how inconvinient) but thank God we found a few houses that have closed toilets inside their house..hehehe :D:D
Even though closed toilet was rare, I enjoyed every moment i spent in that village. I spent most of my time interacting with the kids because I was helping out with the children's program that my church held in the village. Another reason was because they are the ones who are able to speak indo while with the older people I have to talk in javanese as most of them dont know how to speak indo...

The kids love to sing more than games.. They sing and dance too, not a big and fancy dance but just a little movements. They made me enjoy singing with those little movements and they taught us (my friends and me) a couple of sunday school songs in javanese. I only remember how to sing one song which i have to be honest i love the song :D:D As far as i can remember, I've never enjoyed singing sunday school songs as much as i did in that village.

One thing that amaze me most from that village is their hungriness of God's word and i want to be as hungry as them in my spiritual life. For me it is easy to forget God and to put him aside but those villagers taught and encourage me to not forget God and to keep trusting him whatever condition i am in.
