buttmas cuckor (naughty dog), strikes and more
Well folks, I had been waiting to write this entry because I was hoping to have some news about the visa for you today… sorry no news. We had planned on going back to immigration today (they finally opened again after many holidays) but one of the polical parties called a strike in the valley– a rock throwing tire burning kind of stike, no transportation no offices open kindof strike.. (normal life here in nepal oddly enough) so here we are camped out at our house instead. But that’s ok.. I had me a great cup of cofee, some banana pancakes and some incredible meet with Jesus time as I was preparing for my ladies Bible study tonight (that is if the woman can come). I am not suprised at all that the day we are supposed to go to immigration there is a stike in the valley– seems par for the course! ke garne!! Again.. I cannot explain the peace that passes all of my understanding that the Lord has given me in the midst of the unknowing which country I will be in next week!
ok.. on a lighter note.. you may wonder why i have the title naughty dog. Let me tell you about our naughty oh so cute dog that we are dog sitting for nathan and sarah (our newly married teammates) yesterday i was soo stinking excited because I made the last package of our muffin mix from america because my friend had spent the night here. Yummy bluberry muffins. And you have to understand something about our gas oven.. it’s impossible to cook without burning things .. either you get them undone or way over done.. in fact we usually eat muffin tops because the bottoms are so burned. But well.. .I made I must brag some incredible muffins.. just right.. no burnage.. it made me do the happy dance in fact. I must have happy danced a little to long because I came in to tell my friend the muffins were ready– i heard something in the kitchen and I found that our dog asha had jumped on the counter and eaten all six of the muffins and ran out of the kitchen as fast as she could.. before I could even say butmas (naughty). I do have to give it to her.. she is very pregnated with puppies.. so maybe it was a morning craving? hmm….. no muffins for us!
I guess your sister could understand Asha cravings. To bad that your muffins were what Asha was craving. I can’t believe that was your last package of muffin mix. You are amazing that you are so at peace about what country you will be living in next week. Did Jim get there safely? I didn’t know if that was who was suppose to get to eat the muffins that Asha ate. We are enjoying have Michelle stay with us this week. Well actually she has just spend one night so far because she stayed with your old roommate last night. We used the gift card you sent me to go to Jason’s on Monday night. Thank you we enjoyed it. We went across the street to Babys R Us afterwards and looked around at all the baby stuff. Keep us up to date on are you leaving or staying. We love you very very much!!!!
Jenn: It was great to hear from you! I am so sorry that Asha ate your last package of muffins. I would have already sent you some, but I keep waiting to see if you will still be there or if I can mail to the next country you will be in. As soon as we know where to mail……I already have a package ready to go. Just keep us posted. We are pra***ing for you and your team………love, Mama Ellis
yumm…muffins sound good……If I had been there, I may have stolen them too. I am praying and believing God for a HUGE miracle in your visa. I can’t wait to hear how God moves!“
Hey Jenn,
Your muffin troubles remind me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine only eats the tops of the muffins…if you know what I am talking about, then you are probably laughing right now, otherwise I am most likely sounding a little strange…oh well, maybe you can youtube it if you don’t know waht in the world I am talking about 🙂 Anyways, sorry about your visa situation I know it has got to be so frustrating, but it is really cool to hear how you have more peace than you can understand!!
Love,
leanne
Can’t wait to hear which countery you are going to be living in. Do you know anything yet? Let me know. I know your mama will let us know. I hate that you are having visa problems. We love you very, very, very, very much!!!!
