so I did it :-)
So hello to my favorite favorite praying friends…
First before I tell you what I “did” I want to ask your prayers for the head deacon at our church Gunga. He is into politics and was back in his village to help represent the party that he represents (makes sense huh) and He and the members of their party were severely beaten by the communist party. Gunga was flown by helicopter to a hosptial.. so please please pray for him, and as you pray continue to remember to pray for the political situation of Nepal.
Ok.. so on a not so serious note.. I guess you want to know what I did. ok.. so before you think bad of me.. let me explain.. all woman in nepal except for one caste have their nose pierced. It’s nepalee culture. It’s not like in the south where people can do it to rebel.. I promise!!!! So don’t worry I’m not going to go out and get a tattoo or anything.. i promise.. or anything else pierced.. but I wanted to idenity with the nepalee woman… so today a group of us girls went for some girl bonding.. and well I did it! It was fun because this is something I would never think I would do.. i mean I hate needles. But I decided to be brave and GO FIRST.. so I did it.. and didn’t cry or anything. I know what my grandfather would say– if God wanted me to have a hole there he would have given me one. I can’t say that i totally disagree.. but well it’s different here. And don’t worry for you worriers.. it was a gun out of a package from america.. very sterile.. and now i have this really big gold one in for a week.. then i am going to put in a tiny tiny tiny blue one.. that will sparkle. I am hoping for those of you that know me also .. you know I scratch my nose ALL the time.. so I am hoping that this will put an end to the scratchy nose syndrome.. we shall see.
When I go back to america i will probablly take it out.. i don’t want people thinking I am a rebellious sinner.. but for now I just wanted the nepalees to think i was a saint 😉
hehehe.. and i knew my parents could not give me whipping all the way over here.. or they could.. i wouldn’t mind.. because that would mean they would be visiting.. so come on over and give me whooping! 🙂
ma deri buttmoss( isn’t that hilarious.. that’s the word for naughty)
you go girl!! you have become all things to all people!! 🙂
crazy girl. Now you are really the rebellious child and I am the perfect angel:)hehhe …….You have to post a picture!
I can’t believe I only missed it by one week!! I wish I could have been there. I’m praying for Gugen (??), I remember him, head deacon. I’m praying for safety for all of you. Love you!
Jenn,
I can’t believe you told us about this daring act, and then didn’t post of picture. You know we are all dying to see “Ms. Rebellious” and her big gold nose ring! Where is this ring – at the bottom between your nostrils or on the side? I say again you have to post a picture. I’m trying to imagine what I would do if one of my daughters did such a thing. Yep, a whooping immediately comes to mind.
Still love you bunches,
Sandra
You know the crazy thing Jenn? I am kinda not even surpised about your nose pircing. I have always known of your daring and rebel nature. I know to reach people for papa you would do anything, withon kingdom boundries! I think one of the women in God’s book had a nose ring. Tell them it is for kingdom sake, and a way to connect with lost souls. They probably will still whip you, but at least you’ll have a defense lol. More soon! I’ll pray for the deacon. Love you!
Jenn: I think your Mom and Dad are on their way right now to give you a whooping! Ha! To be honest I think I would rather have you with a nose ring than with a tattoo! At least you could let the hole in your nose grow back! I told TJ………Now we know what to send Jenn. We can get you some nose rings. Ha! Just make sure that you don’t let the hairs in your nose grow through the hole. Ha! Make sure you keep it clean and do not get a infection. I don’t want you to look like Rudolph! Now, just don’t give TJ any ideas about this new rebellious idea about nose rings. Now that you have done your nose you might as well do your belly also! Ha! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cross nose ring, but I’ll start looking. You know I have never looked at nose rings, so you have given me a new adventure in shopping. We will pray for your deacon and your country! Take Care….Momma Ellis
Oh you are so very ma deri buttmoss. Bad, bad, bad. Nah, it’s okay since it’s tiny. Of course, I will help with that whoopin’ when you get home. Love you, Aunt Brenda Will pray!
