The first Sunday here in Surkhet, Nepal, was beautiful and a time where I met the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. Our leader, Jared, preached after we worshiped and I did a special number and we were all introduced. We were given gifts already – flower necklaces (part of Nepalese culture) and a picture of the church to take home.
The service was typical Asian which meant women and men sat on opposite sides all with no shoes on the floor. I actually really like this by the way… maybe not the separation, but I could do no shoes in church any day. When the service was older, we were taking pictures and just mingling with the congregation when I saw her. This older woman had such a glow about her. This trip has taught me so much about the beauty of the elderly. I feel like when I see an old person, the Lord just whispers to me, “she’s my favorite.”
