Yesterday, I shared a post on Facebook from my friend Micah featuring our final World Race recap video. I kind of can’t believe I just typed those words. Yet, that’s the reality. We’re home and processing and eating lots of delicious food and trying to remember what it means to live in America and be real people. Watching the video transported me back to a time that felt like years ago and like yesterday all at once.
During our month in Nepal, we worked with a wonderful family doing a variety of things from helping with homeschool to composing a book on the foundations of Christian faith to be translated into Nepali. We lived on bunkbeds and bathed in the river and mastered the art of squatty-pottying. On lazy afternoons, we gathered on the porch to read or listen to music or talk with one another. It was my favorite. The month was beautiful and glorious, mostly because we all decided that it was going to be. As a team, we fought for joy and gratitude and good attitudes. We walked alongside one another and carried each other as needed. We served wholeheartedly and celebrated months one through ten and talked through what it might be like to be home. We were friends and community and church and teammates and it was good.
I could go on and on but perhaps you should see for yourself? This video does a wonderful job of capturing our Nepal experience and I hope that you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed living it.
