Thanks for the explanation of your name. I have seen this more often, Christians in Indonsia taking names of other Christians, that is very good. When we were in lamalera (on Lembate east of Flores) there were many boys who were named after a German missionary who brought Christianity. The only thing that was strange for me was that the name they had chosen was the missionary's family name.
Your name, Jansen, is used in the Netherlands as a family name. It means Jan's son. I'd love to hear more examples of Dutch names used in your community.
I enjoyed your photos especially medan and the view from the plane.
Will you celebrate Christmas on 25th or on 24th? You go to church and what will you do afterwards? I wish you a very pleasant day.
