lost, lanugage and strikes.. .. hmm

Howdy peeps.

I feel I should talk slowly to you so that you will understand my english 🙂
So Today not much happening in my world.. one of the things that comes with living in Nep. … strikes.. that just means people barricade the road, stores are closed and their is no public transportation. There was a strike today– so I stayed home and tried to study from my first language lesson. I am just now posting because for most of the night we have not had any electricity.. heheh.. it’s ok.. i feel like a real “m” when I am reading by one candle.. felt even more like one as I took another bucket bath and shaved my legs in the dark. now that is HARD core! I will meet with the friend that I was supposed to meet with tonight on Friday night.

So you may be wondering about the lost thing. Well you know those awesome tailor made clothes that i had made.. hehe.. well I tried to go find that tailor yesterday. I didn’t think it would be to hard. I told the taxi driver the name of the the choke to take me (that’s a circle roundabout thing in the road) and he took me.. and then nothing looked familiar.. so after wondering around for a while.. singing some praise songs (tryjng to put on a spirit of praise) I finally found my way to another section of town where i was meeting some girlfriends for a girls lunch at a semi-coffee shop. At least I found them.. my clothes.. hmm.. i’ll keep you updated on that!

Yesterday I had my first language lesson. I loved it. My teacher is the cutest old nepal. Man and he is just an awesome teacher. He will be teaching me 2 hours a day 5 days a week and when i am not in language class i will be studying. hehehe.. he kept asking me questions like how do you conjugate this verb (in english mind you). I realized I don’t remember anything about english grammer. so I may have to study that to.. hehhee.. it was like being in kindergarden again trying to learn to read and write. I am learning the script as I learn to speak.. and it looks like arabic.. So I was doing what you do when you learn to write.. writing large and not to nice but writing over and over the vowels and consonents. I figure if I could do it when i was little I can do it again. My teacher is hindu, so I hope to share Christ with him.

Please pray for my language ability to come quickly (ma nepalma chito chito sickchu ) because I am a relationship person and I love to communicate and talk and I can only have the same conversation over and over with people here. 🙂

well thanks for praying for me. God is meeting me in a way here that I would never have imagined or needed. It’s funny how much more you talk to God when he’s the only one aroudn you that can understand what you are saying.

love ya
