Joys

I just wanted to write a list of some more things I love about Nepal

1) I am learning a new dance (not to be confused with the umbrella dance). It’s called the pinball. You know how a pinball machine pings and pongs from place to place.. that what you do when you are walking. It’s never dull. You ping to one place to avoid a huge bus coming down the road, pong to another spot to avoid the three cows, 2 goats and 5 chickens, ping again to watch out for an oncoming motorcycle that is to busy staring at you to drive.. well you get the picture

2)I love how the people love on you. They are always telling me i’m beautiful, amazing, they wont let you lift a finger. They have the most incredible servants hearts.

3) I love that it’s become quite normal for me to kill 2 spiders, a cockroach and a mosquito while sitting on the toilet all al once!

4) I love that nepa. eat rice and lentils every meal and don’t get tired of it. I on the other hand.. hmm..

5) I love how much I appreciate it when i get a hot shower (which is a rarity). Seriously.. it’s made me appreciate things so much more

6) I love the children that play outside with homemade kites in my driveway everyday and how the hug me and yell jamasee ( i see jesus in you) everytime they see me!

7) I love the way I am coming to know our Savior more and more each day. He came to seek and to save the lost. He came to bring hope to the hopeless. He came to love ME! AND you! And Them

8) I love that my bible college students have been around me long enough that they are starting to say glory.. hehehe

9) I love that today there was a strike outside so my languge teacher could not come which gave me extra time to study!!

oh yeah and this is a pic. of me and the bible college girls hanging out at my house.. 🙂

  1. Jenn,

    THIS IS A JOY TO SEE! I love how you find reasons to be joyful in all things just as the apostle Paul told us to be Joy always!
    I love the ping pong concept. You bring a smile to my face! I am glad you got a break today from lang.

    I have been reading up on Nep news. I hope to write you a real letter soon deary. Love you!

  2. I LOVE YOU!!! your joy is contagious – even across the sea.

    we’re planning our emmaus walk (meeting in the morning) and it’s just not the same without you. i miss you!! 🙂

  3. hey dearie. I love you. the ladies at work loved the email you sent with the sinus story. that was stinking funny. Ping and pong. HIlarious. Just be careful you don’t fall when you are pinging and ponging:)
    YOur picture is amazing. I can’t believe how gorgeous you look. I love that shirt…..You are truly shining
    Love you

  4. Jenn,

    It’s obvious you’ve been spending lots of time with the Lord because “in His presence there is fullness of joy.” And boy, is your joy shining through – not only in what you say, but in the radiant glow on your face.

    I’m so thrilled and inspired that you even find joy in some of the unpleasant details of your life there. Since the Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength and our stronghold, you must be a huge body-builder, muscle-woman in the spiritual realm!

    You are in my prayers so often, especially for your safety and your language lessons. One day very soon, by the power of the Holy Spirit, it’s going to just click in your brain and you won’t be thinking in English and then trying to say the corresponding word in a language foreign to you. All of a sudden, you will just be amazed that you are able to correspond with people there without translating in your head. As you always say, GLORY!

    Love you bunches,
    Sandra
