"Last minute invitation received, accepted & OK'd by the Church Family History Department in New Delhi, India. As part of an Interfaith, Bogor 1st & 2nd Wards organized Information Day at the Bogor Chapel on 12 June 2019."

This must have been one of Brother Peter Bushi's most inspired decisions, so far in 2019, to allow us to be part of this Interfaith Bogor Wards organized day of action packed ( 4 hours) event. The, to 25 min shortened, Temple Centered Family History Powerpoint Presentation was thanks to the Interfaith Christian participants' intense Attention, a great success. Elder & Sister Schmid presented a 25 minute "Temple Centered Powerpoint Family History Slide Presentation" designed to get guests from other Christian Faiths informed on connecting with ancestors & inspired to start their own personal 4-Generations "Online."  Sister Atelia Cintakari, the Bogor 1st Ward Family History Consultant presented a perfectly executed Instruction of how to open  FamilySearch/Tree account to the non-member audience of this Interfaith event on Wed. 12 June. Moreover, Sr. Atelia is part of the Rising Generation of Indonesians recently called to Leadership positions in The Church. As part of her Instruction, she invited all to instantly start opening a FREE Famytree/Search account as the photos show. Cell phones were eagerly set. Conducting Bishop Jemmy Mongan had a hard time stopping them from completing their personal Free FamilySearch/FamilyTree accounts. *** Fantastic day well spent. The Spirit was clearly present. The attention span seemed unlimited. Lunch was constantly interrupted by people from other Christian faiths to have pictures taken with members of the Bogor Wards. Including with us.  We are tired, happy & obviously very satisfied with the outcome of today. After a smooth taxi ride we arrived safely back in Jakarta later today. We wished for an "Intense" final couple of  weeks in our Mission. The Lord surely has granted that Royally. ( so far.). More to come? We will let you know.
