हेल्लो फ़्रिएन्द्स एंड फमिली इ मिस्स यौ!
(I just said, hello friends and family i miss you in Nepali script)
Anyway, what to say, so much has been happening, brief description of outreach thus far:
no showers, dahl bhot everyday, paragliding, snuggling with Nadine every night, watching movies on my tiny iPod, junk internet cafes, cookies, seeing God move in crazy ways, awesome church services, open airs, trekking to villages overnight, teaching people about Jesus, awkward moments with your outreach family, amazing black tea every morning, meeting other YWAMers from all around the world, missing your family, wearing the same thing everyday, growing closer to Jesus, seeing Jesus heal people, ahg I could go on for days but I won't.
The past few weeks have been great! They are going by so fast! I can't believe in just a few weeks I will be back in Washington! Nepal is awesome, there are 12 YWAM teams here right now, can you say revival in Nepal? Yes. Please and thank you. Last week we went to a village called Gorka, we lead a mini conference thing where my team split up and taught on different topics, Becca and I taught on quiet time with God, it was intimidating speaking to over 60 Nepalis in a church but, God gives you the strength to do anything!
I've been reading through Isaiah through out outreach almost done! Such an amazing book.
We went on our last village/trekking adventure yesterday, hiked up to some mountain village place for a house fellowship where i spoke on abiding in Jesus, I love John 15.
Here are some quotes I decided to live by and love: "ministry is simply loving the person in front of you." "missions are intended to be the Sermon on the Mount on Earth." "when you seek first the riches of heaven God also entrusts you with those on Earth." All from the book Compelled by Love by Heidi Baker. I have such a different view on The Beatitudes and missions in general. Missions aren't in just third world countries like Nepal, they are everywhere. I just can't wait for America, and good coffee..
I can't wait to come back to America, I am consumed by Jesus. Oh my gosh I went paragliding, it was so amazing!!!!! I literally ran off a cliff, such amazing views of the mountains up there! So fun!! My blog posts never make sense, sorry again, only a few more!!!
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten we belong to each other. -Mother Teresa, I love her.
Anyway, we leave Pokhara the 10th, (Nadine's birthday!) and we will be doing 3 hours of prayer and intercession in the morning and then go out and do friendship evangelism or anything we feel like God wants us to do. Then debrief starts the day after my birthday (16th) and we leave Kathmandu, Nepal the 20th!!! We have lots of layovers but we should be arriving in Honolulu, Hawaii the 21st!! Can't wait to see you mommy, Blakey, auntie, and my YWAM family!!!
