Since our driver is from Malang and his family still lives there, we suggested to President Groberg that it might be nice for us to move to Malang when our lease was over at the Waterplace Apartments in Surabaya. We had already been working in the mountainous town 3-4 days each month, renting a hotel room. We felt that we had done all we could do in Surabaya First Branch and needed to work full time in Malang. President Groberg readily agreed with us and authorized us to rent a place there and prepare to move. We spent a couple days looking at houses, since apartment buildings are non-existent in Malang and found a beautiful little house. Then we spent two different trips moving things up and doing some cleaning in preparation for the big move. Elder and Sister Kepler were big helps, loading their car to the brim for the move on October 9, 2012.

Just kidding... here's part of the outdoor kitchen.

Here's the other half. We added the cabinets, microwave
and toaster oven when we moved in.

This is the back yard with Tweetie in the center. The
washer is around the corner on the right and we hang
up our clothes to dry on a rack we put in the sun.

This is the front yard--just the right size!
