Greetings from Sulawesi We have decided to build storage
for our boat-Sandek, so we shared our plan to the villagers. They were glad to
hear the suggestion and agreed. We made an appointment to gather at 8 am the
next morning. From the early morning, people considered about the cost how to
build the building cheaply. They suggested to go to mountain and took bamboo
trees. It became a villager’s project, and women in the village cooked for the
labors. Indeed, it was a public project for the villagers. It used to be
happened in this village due to the community living style. At the same time, it
reminded us how Brother Song has built the relationship with them. It was a miracle that the
building was completed in three days. A villager gave a name of the house –Rumah
Sandek Race. (The house of Sandek) At the behind of the name plate, there were
written many names of villagers who have joined in the work. The house would be
used for keeping the boat but also it could be a public meeting place for the
villagers. We also made a book shelf in the small room. We dreamed of the ocean
library after books were gathered more and more in this place.
As soon as the Rumah Sandek completed, we
tried to launch our boat. The wind was too strong so we decided to delay little
bit according to the villager’s advice. We expected to see sunset on the sea
but we couldn’t do for the reason. So we just learnt how to use the sail and
then returned back earlier. The next day, we went to the beach early morning
that we wanted to return before noon. There was no wind at all so we moved to a
little far away from the coast. We had to dismantle and paint again on the boat
at the next day. So we decided to sail just to the near village. We were
operating the sail in turn among us and the sailing was smooth. Sometimes we
could listen to playing sound of organ. However the wind direction was suddenly
changed so we couldn’t direct to our destination. We tried several times to
change the direction but the rope of the sail was broken. Our captain, Brother
Song rapidly held the key and announced us finding the other way. We were all
nervous that the other rope might be broken too, so that we silently followed
the captain's instructions. Even though we could see the village in front of
our eyes, we couldn’t make to move because of the wind. We changed our
destination to the next village that it might be possible to move the boat
again by pushing along the coast. However our villagers who have been monitoring
us came to the neighbor village by the motor boat. Then the motor boat dragged
our boat to the original destination.
The next day, we had dinner with villagers for
farewell until the midnight. The next morning, we had to go to Makasar so
villagers accompanied us to the place that we took a bus. When we arrived in
Makasar, Ami and her mother were welcome us with lunch boxes. We had great
lunch at the airport garden. We told to them that their hospitality were too
much and deep so that we felt sorry about it. But they said, “The guest is the blessing
from the heaven. The work can be delayed but we may not possible to see you for
a long if we cannot see you now.” We are reminding again and again about the
hospitalities and friendship of the people in this place. Even though they are
not rich people, they have big hearts. Where are the abundant hearts coming
from? We wish our visit becomes their luck as they said. And we pray that their
abundant hearts could be their own blessings. Prayer requests: 1.
Thank God that we could complete our ocean
training safely. 2.
We bless the villagers who showed us the
hospitality and friendship.
