Of late there have been pretty good numbers of both Bahasa Indonesia and Malayu missionaries at the MTC. There is a huge need to go in on Saturday afternoons to practice with them. The program has changed. You only speak Bahasa and don't role play. You are yourself. You will need a current temple recommend. Recently they start at 2:50 pm but you should call first to make sure. Once you are on the list they will call or email you. I you live within distance to the MTC please help if you can.

I've been using the Gospel Library app on iPod for a while now for scriptures. I've been wanting to read my scriptures in indonesian for a while, and was hoping that the church would release the indonesian language for the gospel library app.
I became impatient though, and I've discovered that I can use the scriptures.lds.org to create an E-book of Kitab Mormon. It will be an E-book, so it won't have all the foot notes and annotations and things like that, but it should work for personal reading.
If anyone is interested in having the file once I'm finished, send me a message. I should be finished with it by this weekend. I just started last night (couldn't sleep) and I got through Mosiah, so I don't think it will take too much longer.

There is much rebuilding to be done in the villages surrounding Mt. Merapi. If you would like to volunteer to help LDS teams in that rebuilding please e-mail Elder Subandriyo at [subandriyo@gmail.com] or Elder and Sister Grover (the Sr. couple in Solo) at [email.mamak@gmail.com]. The project will start in about three weeks (December 6th). All expenses will be paid by you.

My wife and I have just returned from a great visit to Semarang, Solo, and Jogya. It was great to attend church in Solo and see the new buildings in all three cities. The language came back much better than I expected after not speaking it in almost 35 years. Orang2 Jawa mengatakan bahwa mereka dapat mengerti saya dan saya dapat mengerti mereka juga!

For those of you with i-phones, i-pod touch, or i-pad. In the apps store you can find Kamus Lenkap or Kamusku both are Indonesia-English and English-Indonesia. I got Kamusku because it works with i-touch. So far it seems to be a great app. Much better and more complete than the web kamus I was using.

The "40 years of the the Church in Indonesia" video that was shown at the reunion (without sound) is now posted on the www.JAREDITA.org website WITH SOUND. Here is the link -
http://jaredita.org/?page_id=14
We downgraded the resolution to conserve space. If you would like to have a copy of the DVD please email Chuck Lambson with your mailing address. chuck.lambson@asml.com If you feel inclined to help with the cost I would prefer that you make a donation to the Jaredita Educational Assistance Fund, see details on the website.
Note: Subandriyo also gave me a very nice video of children, and parents of children, that have been helped by JEAP. I have asked them to re-send in a different format because I could not get the sound converted. I will post it on the site when I get the new version and send another message to notify you.

Dalam tahun ini saya merencanakan untuk menyelesaikan buku tentang sejara Gereja Yesus Kristus dari Orang-orang Suci Zaman Akhir di Indonesia. Tolong kirim cerita dan pengalaman anda kepada saya.
As many of you know I am writing a history of the LDS Church in Indonesia. I am on research leave until August to get as much writing done as possible. I am still happily accepting stories and information for the book. Write the stories as a gift for your posterity and then send a copy on to me.
Thanks to those of you who have already submitted information and to those who have been interviewed. I am also willing to come and interview anyone within a half day's drive of Provo.
My e-mail address is: chad_emmett@byu.edu
Terima kasih
Chad Emmett

Aloha from Hawaii,
From the time this eMail is being written I counted that I have exactly 14 days to completing my bachelor degree in Political Science at BYU-Hawaii. My testimony has always been similar that the Lord's hands are upon me to help me going through my 3 school years at BYUH.
Not long ago I had an opportunity to meet with the Ambassador of Indonesia for the United States, Mr.Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat, at the Indonesian Community Association in the US' gathering. I had a privilege to speak with him in private and addressed some internal political issues as well as the security for tourism in Bali and other tourism destinations in Indonesia. On the next day after that, Mr.Ambassador came to the Polynesian Cultural Center with his wife, consulate general and his wife, and some of the Indonesian Embassy staffs. PCC and the villages had prepared to have a welcoming ceremony for him, especially at the Maori-New Zealand village where such ceremony is specially intended to welcome a dignitary. Surprisingly, Mr.Ambassador politely refused to be recognized in such way. He told me to tell the workers at the center to proceed with the show just like normally, he did not want the guests to watch him, "I do not want my presence becoming a central attraction, let people enjoy watching the cultural presentation instead of watching me and my family" It will take too many lines for me to describe how humble this person was. He also told me he met with President Hinckley and that President Hinckley brought him to visit BYU Provo and the Great Salt Lake Temple. The conversation became more friendly and open as he asked me questions about Latter-day Saints beliefs. I took the opportunity to talk about LDSC's humanitarian works in Indonesia, I shared with him that LDS believe that we all are children of God regardless what religious background we have. At the end of his visit, Mr.Ambassador and his wife extended their personal invitation for me to visit them in their residential in Washington DC.
This experience touches my heart. I always thought only a true Latter-day Saints have such high sense of HUMILITY, in fact, I was wrong...he was not an LDS but he was so humble and friendly that makes me even think that I, being a Latter-day Saints, have learned so much from this man !!! He is an ambassador and I am only a poor student, but he made me feel like he was my good friend. from this experience I learned no matter how much experiences, money, title, and no matter how important my position is, if I am not humble, if I look down at people below me, I will never ever have that humility.
I hope this story add to many other's enriching stories you all experienced in your life. I wish to always remember this short experience that has taught me to become and remain humble and respect people whatever social status they are: rich, poor, young, old, or the same age. Mahalo from the Land of Aloha-Hawaii.
