KE Bayou Tapiko Nok (what happened to your nose?)
Hello. Jaymasee. How are all my faithful readers doing? Sorry sometimes I just don’t know how to start out these post in a non cheesy way, so I just do it!
So you may wonder about the title. hehehe. well I am so glad that God calls me his beautiful one. Of course all girls struggle with that don’t we.. especially when the only boy who has ever said that to you is your dad.. and well he has to. Lately I have been really glad that God calls me beautiful. hhehee.. you see I got a zit on my nose. You have to understand I am not a zit getter. I hardly ever get them. But this particular zit on my nose was bothering me, so I picked it and it became some sort of huge ugly hole in my nose. And it’s one of those things you just want to ignore is there, but frankly it’s been ther for 2 weeks and it’s unignorable…. and nepalees crack me up. They point it out everytime they see me with great concern. ke bayou tapiko nok (what hapened to your nose). My language teacher spent half an hour telling me how I should fix it.. hehee.. it’s times like this when I am glad that God whispers in my ear each morning good morning beautiful one!
so anyways.. this week has been an incredible week. besides trying to figure out when ther will be electricity or when it will be cut off ( it’s kindof fun though.. it reminds me I am in the third world.) and when I can get enough water to flush the toilet and take a shower! Last night was my ladies bible study and we had about 16 ladies come again. It was just so awesome. I love that I get to do this for God. We talked about Satan and how he lies and tells us we need to compare ourselves to others. the rest of this has been busy again going to nepalees homes, showing my incredible new friends around (they are leah’s friends, but i have just loved having them here.. we have had a blast), language and the Bible colege started up again this week. I am going to be teaching the third year students Biblical counseling and I am super excited about it.
so in case you guys didn’t know I am going to be an aunt.. i am so excited. Michelle had an ultrasound yesterday and she said the baby waved. I am positive that it was waving at it’s aunt jen in nepal. If you guys would like to keep up with the baby checkout my sisters blog at gingerbreadfam.blogspot.com
ok one more thing and then I am done wih this incredible random post. One of my best friends from college, Casey Gann is planning on coming here to nepal in march for 2 weeks. Several reasons.. 1) to help me with my ministry here, to do this normal m trip things 2) she’s an amazing photographer and I am not so I want her to capture nepal for me and most importantly… well selfishly I need her to come. Really more then anything she is coming to minister to me. I have been here almost 6 months and it has been an absolutly amazing time.. but I need someone from home to come and experience my life.. and how amazing to have my best friend come and debrief with me this time. So all this to say, if you feel led to help support her trip financially please e-mail her at [email protected] She is going through a church that supports me Joy Christian fellowship, so all of your gifts would be tax deductable. Just pray about it if you would not mind!
i love you guys so much.
Jenn, I just panicked a little bit. The only thing that still comes to that e-mail address is your monthly update. If you have questions, you can e-mail at [email protected]. I’m afraid anything sent to the hotmail address will go straight to junk mail and I’ll never see it!
Jenn, I love you and I’m just so excited to sit with over a cup of coffee and hear all about what the Lord is doing in you!
Hello beautiful and you are I don’t HAVE to say that. You are beautiful from the inside out. It was so good to hear from you. I guess Daddy is just going to have to come over there and give them some TVA advice where you can have power and can talk to us. We sure do miss getting to talk to you and see you. Your little future neice or nephew is growing. I am sure that the baby was waving at Aunt Jennifer. I am so sorry to hear about your nose. I will make sure and tell everybody to pray for it since nobody there has noticed and wouldn’t know to pray for it. HA HA! Why is that people think that you wouldn’t notice something that is on your own face. We look forward to hearing the contiueing story of Jennifer’s nose. Write as soon as you can. I will be praying that we get to talk to you soon and see you. We love you so very much!!! Love, Mommy
I’m so sorry about your nose. Thanks for not sending us a picture of that! hehehe. I used to get the occasional zit, and it seems like they always appeared at the most inappropriate times and in the most conspicuous places – like the end of my nose! I always picked up them to try to get them to go away faster, but then they would turn into what I called my “Mount Vesuvius” zits. Maybe I should send you a big red clown nose to cover it up. Then you could just tell people you came to Nepal to spread the joy and laughter the Lord has put in your heart. Or you could tell them that you are planning on running away to join the circus if they don’t stop pointing out a slight imperfection on your otherwise beautiful face!
I’m happy to hear that your friend Casey is coming to see you. I know she will be such a blessing to you. I was in a Christian book store the other day and mentioned to the salesperson that I had a friend in Nepal. He told me that his grandparents went to Nepal many years ago as “m”s. He asked me if I was going to go over to visit you. I couldn’t help but laugh. I wouldn’t last a day in Nepal! You are made of much better stuff than I am, Jenn Hand. You are a picture of God’s grace under pressure.
Maybe Casey can bring you whatever you need to make your computer work again. We all miss reading your blogs on a regular basis, and I know your family and TJ miss talking to you. I’m still praying for a quick solution to this pesky problem (and the pesky zit on your nose!)
Love you bunches,
Sandra
beautiful jenn.
It was so so good to talk to you today. I was so blessed as usual by you and your faith. I want to be like you when I grow up.
Don’t panic about the pimple on your nose. It sounds like a saved by the bell epsiode to me. the one where kelly wouldn’t be homecoming queen because she has a big pimple…..she handled it and so can you 🙂 I love you dearie
