My New Family

I live in Kartasura – a small city in Central Java. In there I join in youth commission in my church. It is called Bahtera. Every Saturday evening we always gather in our church to have religion service (in Indonesian we recognize with ‘Persekutuan’ or ‘mudika’). It is hold for about 2 hours, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. After my religion service finish, my friends and I always spend our time to share everything we want to share or just kidding with some jokes. People usually think that what we do is nothing. Actually, it’s very important for us to make our friendship closer and closer. Even from this activity that unimportant for others, we can get our new family in Bahtera. Unrealized, we have become a new family in Jesus’ Kingdom.
Frankly, Saturday is one of three days I like the most in a week. They are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Why? It’s caused only in these days I can meet my lovely friends and laugh with them. As you know that in Jogja I live in my boarding house, meet and laugh with them is valuable moment for me.
Every Sunday, i have the same activity -- meet and gather with my friends -- but i have to teach sunday school first. I always leave my home at 6.40 a.m. and teach sunday school until 8.30 a.m. After it, my friends and I always meet in Pastori (our base camp) for enjoy our time. Beside talking or sharing, we also sing and playing guitar together. Can you imagine how happy I am??? Usually, we gather until lunch time about 12 p.m. or 12.30 p.m.
Some people think that we just wasting the time, but we are love this moment.
