I have included the email we received from Pres. Groberg. As he said, this is a challenging mission, so PLEASE remember Kevin in your prayers and if you have a chance send him a letter. Feel free to contact me and I will give you the "pouch mail" instructions. That would be the cheapest and easiest way to write him. I am sure that mission rules are that email is for family only. Thanks for your support!
Dear Brother and Sister Johnson,
We want to inform you that Elder Johnson has arrived and we are excited to have him serving with us in Indonesia. His group had an adventure getting here including a cancelled and missed flight and 24 extra hours in Los Angeles. They are here now and temporarily assigned in areas around Jakarta while their Indonesian visa/identity cards are being processed. Within the week they will receive their first assignment.
Indonesia is a challenging mission and new missionaries have quite an adjustment initially. Your faith, prayers, encouragement and letters will help. Soon they will settle into the routine and begin to appreciate the wonderful people here and realize the amazing opportunity that is theirs to serve the Lord in Indonesia.
Enjoy the pictures of their first two days.
President and Sister Groberg

Yay! It's mind-boggling to think someone I know is really in Indonesia. We will certainly pray for him.
