Ace left at 2:00 am to take our friends Nomad & Yufanty to the Tucson Airport. This was his second trip. Last week he took our friends Yus. and Fitria and their family to the airport. We are always so happy to meet new people but, it is always so hard to say good bye too! We look forward to heaven some day when we will be able to see all our dear friends in one spot. *A little side note: Both families are from Indonesia and are going home. Ace, had Nomad & Yus as students at SMAT. When they arrived in America they did not know English so, Ace was unable to get to know them because of the language barrier. When they left us they could speak English at an elementary level. We were very blessed to be able to get to know them and their families here in training. It was so much fun to help them learn new words and to laugh at them knowing that we would be on the other side of the fence some day.
Cute story: One day Ace was telling Yus to do something mechanical I don't remember what the task was...anyways, Ace said don't go crazy with it. Yus didn't understand what he meant by going crazy. So Ace explained what he meant. (Ace enjoyed helping Yus with his English. It was challenging and mind stretching for Ace.) Yus say's in Indonesia don't use crazy that is bad. The fun part is after he learn t about the word crazy and what it means to us Americans he used it all the time. ;-)
