One thing that makes life difficult here is the coming and going of friends. My Indonesian friends are pretty constant. We have only had one Indonesian family that we are close to move away. However, my western friends are constantly going to america or coming back.
Starting on October 4th all of my closest American friends will be Stateside. I am some bummed about this. Have you ever lived overseas? Or have you notice immigrants living around you and seen how if someone is from your home country you become instant friends. Here I would say, if you are from an English speaking country you become friends pretty quickly. People from the same cultural background flock together. There is a comfort in knowing that someone understands you, not just your language but your humor and way of thinking.
So I write this asking for your prayer during the month of October. I will be feeling lonely as I miss my American friends but don't worry about me I have plenty of Australian, English, Scottish and Indonesian friends here to keep me happy.
