christmas decorating, quick niko lagyo (quick healing from sickness) and more

Hey guys.. Tapailai sun sai cha? I just asked you how you were. This is said to everyone that you meet here in nepal. So again, I promise to soon be back to my faithful blogging self.. if you knew how crazy it has been here.. i have moved and then moved back downstairs again, my teamleader and my regional director have been in town and i am preparing my new house for my new team mate.. crazy times.
So yesterday i got sick, (birami cha).. the throw up and other stuff and chills and fever kind of sick. I’m suprised because with the american guests that were in town we ate at some nice restraunts.. maybe my stomache isn’t used to that anymore.. hehehe.. regardless I spent all day yesterday in bed or in the toilet.. ok.. not in the toilet but you know what i mean. It was a good time to rest and spend with jesus in between wakawaka (that’s the word for throw-up here in nepalee..isn’t that awesome!) so my nepalee friend that i disciple was so cute.. she was so worried about me when she saw me sick and pale that she wanted to take care of me.. so she brought me soup.. well what she thought was soup…. but it was a packet of turkey gravy from america.. have you ever been throwing up and have someone in love bring you turkey gravy? So i ate as much as i could– and well you can imagine the results.. but there is a wonder drug that you get here called cipro that kills any parasite inside of you and anything else frankly— nathan brought me some and i woke up this morning completely healed.. praise jesus. I feel great! 🙂
so we moved my stuff back downstairs to my new home (which is the same home i was living in except now with no furniture yet) and then we had a party! (or course that is what i love to do!) so at the party there was about 15 nepalees and we have a dinky christmas tree with ornaments lights, so we made my new home officially ready for the holidays and decorated.. they were so cute and enjoyed it so much.. . i am now sitting beside my blinking christmas tree… after we put it up we sang christmas songs in nepalee. It was a really special time for me. It made me realize how blessed i am.. and made me remember all the wonderful times i have had with my family in america around christmas.. we are the cheesiest christmas family– and I want you guys to know i miss you. But I loved how God has given me a nepalee family here also– and all 16 of us decorated this tiny little tree that looks alot like charlie brown. As you read this.. would you just say a prayer that God would use us during this christmas season to shine the light of christ.. that i will be a blinking light in the darkness like these christmas lights on my tiny tree– rangie changie (very colorful) to those who see only darkness.

God bless you and I love you all
