Brian and Lorraine in Bali - June update

Rev Brian and Lorraine (from Victoria) are serving as volunteers with the GKPB in Bali. They write:
Monday and Friday we teach 4 classes each day to staff at the Dhyana Pura Hotel (run by the GKPB). We make the classes interactive with role plays, taking a survey or taking a message etc. They are very keen! At Dhyana Pura Campus (training people in the hospitality industry) we teach staff 3 mornings a week, and we have students in the afternoon. They are lovely people. The students come to our room sometimes to chat which is nice. We have a little flat at the Dhyana Pura Campus and it is very comfortable, on the third floor overlooking the rice fields.
Each weekend we have 2-3 invitations to go to some part of Bali for the weekend. Last weekend we spent in the country with a family. It was fascinating. We got to church with only an Indonesian Bible with us. Brian was shown to the pulpit and he was to take the service. He did very well at short notice. Tomorrow we are leaving at 6.30 am by motorbike to take part in a service at a village, then share lunch together.
All is going well.
