Bullet points from our time in Nepal:
1) This is my new team: TETRIS.
(we’re a good lookin group)
2) We are spending this month with another team, our two squad leaders, and, because of a stolen passport, Cassie is with us this month too. It’s a full house but I like it.
3) We are living in an orphanage. Small children are always creeping in our windows.
4) Our ministry involves prayer walks through Kathmandu, some preaching, and a few rounds of VBS at the local elementary schools.
5) We saw a woman get healed… big time. Long story short: She was in an accident and lost feeling/movement in her legs. Being paralyzed from the waist down, she has been bed ridden for seven months-ish. We met her, we prayed for her, God moved, and so did she. After a couple more weeks of God moving and healing and a little physical therapy, she can now get out of her bed and stand up. She’ll be dancing soon.
6) I feel like a five year old, I have ringworm (for the third time), I have an ear infection, and I have to share a single bed with Tricia.
7) It’s cold here (praise the Lord) and beautiful. Probably the most beautiful country yet. And the people are some of the coolest people. Please picture in your head: walking down the street and as you pass the beautifully weathered and eccentrically friendly old woman carrying a bushel of mystery weeds and a walking stick, you lift both hands, palm to palm, to your face and shyly say, “Namaste.” Obviously her hands are full so she can’t bow back, but she does laugh at you in a loving grandma “you’re cute” kind of way and says, “Namaste” back as she heads on her way up the hill. This is our life.
8) I haven’t seen Everest yet, but I hear it’s pretty cool.
9) Happy Birthday Nelly!!!!
(Love you Doodoohead!)
