Hello from Nepal. We have been here for about a week now. After three months of the race we switch teams, So I have a new team now. We have come up with the name Tambo Tribe. Tambo is short for tambourine. When thinking about our name we wanted some thing to symbolize the victory that we have in Jesus. Whenever it mentions a battle that has been won in the bible, afterward they celebrate with tambourines. People also used tambourines when dancing and worshiping God, which is what we love to do the most.
My new team of six girls including me are teaching at an English school here in a small village near Kathmandu. I was really nervous to be teaching a whole class of students but soon found that it is a lot of fun. I’m learning a few things that I have forgot since I have been in school. Most of the time the students want to play games which I usually agree to. I love to teach the nursery school children the best. A couple days ago we found a old sheet and used it to play parachute, the children loved it, especially when we introduced a couple of balls the children would try to catch them as they bounced up and down with the waves of the sheet. The idea of teaching at a school was something that I felt I didn’t really want to do. Now I’m having a great time and am grateful to God for giving me this opportunity.
Nepal has really friendly people. We are staying with a local pastor and his family in their two bedroom house. We are defiantly experiencing community as all six of us girls are sleeping in one bedroom on the floor shoulder to shoulder. I’m not complaining but it has its challenges. Our host cooks every night for us, which is really a blessing, and the food is so good. The showers are cold and we only have the ‘squatty’ kind of toilet but the hospitality of Meg and his family are more than we could ask for. They are really sweet and spoil us. I love them and will really miss them when we leave.
Please pray for a Christian revival in Nepal. I feel that God is starting to move here and the few Christians that live here are constantly praying that great things will happen in this country in the next year and more people will be accepting of the Gospel and coming to Christ. I was praying the other night a felt a great burden for Nepal but also could feel that Nepal is going to be changed in the future. I feel the Kingdom of God working over time here and its only the beginning.
Stay tune for my blog about my ministry last month in India.
