We found out yesterday that we have a house in Jogja. The situation has been a bit complicated, largely because our positions are not entirely settled. Where Lori will work has not yet been settled and my position is new to UIN so they aren't sure what to do about me. However, we found out that a house formerly used by MCCers was available so we took it. We then had a choice to either move Dec. 24 or wait till later in January. We decided to move on Christmas Eve, which isn't an ideal time.
The house is on a compound owned by a Javanese Christian denomination in the middle of Jogja. It looks to be within walking distance of UIN and Duta Wacana, the Christian university Lori may be working at. The house is comfortable with room for the kids to play. We will post pictures of the house once we move in.
Last night we decorated Christmas cookies. Tonight we will be celebrating Christmas with MCC staff and workers. This marks the end of our time in Salatiga with several other MCC couples. One other couple will also be moving to Jogja where one of them will be teaching at Gadja Mada. Two other couples are moving to Papua. One couple is working on developing an educational program for HIV/AIDS while the other are teaching at a Seminary. We have developed some good relationships here and it will be sad to leave.
