On Sunday afternoon Peter (our driver) received a text asking us to lead a ninety minute discussion in Youth Conference on Thursday (we were replacements for President Donald), which we were happy to do. We prepared for the next couple of days - studied, created a power point, prepared two activities activities, handouts, treats - and left Thursday morning for Batu (a three and a half to four hour drive from Surabaya) where the conference was being held. We had a great time being with the youth....they are amazing, kind, intelligent, fun individuals!
These are the uniquely Indonesian components of the experience....we has to pay $30 to use a projector for the pp; about forty five minutes into the discussion we were told to end in twenty minutes; and not one person (District leaders, branch leaders, youth) said thanks for coming or good job or wow, that was lousy! Not a word :)
