Today we anchored outside Jakarta, Indonesia to pick up medical supplies and translators. One of our LDS team members was taking some of the translators on a tour around the ship and stopped to introduce them to me. I shook hands with the first guy who introduced himself as Camay, then the second one said his name was Harry. I said "Harry " ??. What kind of Indonesian name is that? He said 'a common one'. I laughed and went to the next guy who said his name was 'Mike' and the next was 'Ed' and the next was 'Tony'. I said, "what is going on here? One out of nine guys has an Indonesian name". They just laughed and went on their way. Now, I think thats kind of amazing that I travel half way around the world and find western names on the young men. Some pcs attached are an Indonesian warship and its flags hooked up to the side of our ship, unloading supplies and a photo of its guns. And...no....I was not afraid. LOL. Love you guys and miss you all so much.
