ISOM has begun! The first classes are with Joyce Meyer on Wilderness Mentalities, and the globitos get to be facilitators and lead discussion after the group watches the English/Nepali video class. It's been fun and interesting with all the translating happening, I hope I'm understanding what they are saying..
The days the other girls lead we rotate tutoring, so I have been once with the girls and once with the boys. The girls are WILD. I think cause there are so many of them. My best efforts included, running around the room all over furniture, and me, girls touching my face and braiding my hair, and singing a few songs. The boys, well they all avoided doing homework, so I had one little guy that I forced to stay with me, and guess what? All his work got done!! One on one help right there... then some older boys came in the room with guitars and started jamming and even playing one of the english worship songs we introduced at youth! cool beans! we had lots of fun. At the home in the mornings, we have been cleaning, and helping with taxes and money, and making store runs, and trying to help in any way we can. I have gotten to take some naps, which has been much needed, and gotten to skype with my whole family by this point!
I'm missing a few things from home. besides my family:
clean air
fruit (dried and fresh) (mangos)
mexican food
my bed
electricity
showers
my guitar
english church services
fresh vegetables
my full wardrobe
kinda petty things, sure, but I think it's ok to be a little home sick. I still do love it here, the people, food, walking everywhere, and just the simplistic culture.
So, the church is doing group evangelism on Saturday, but we just found out that we will not be there for that, due to the fact we are headed to Chitwan sp? or somewhere near there, and going to get to see and celebrate a man getting baptized from there. He made a decision for Chr-st at a family camp they had here about a year ago, and has been waiting to celebrate his baptism with the whole family! so excited, hope I'll get to post some pictures of that!! Until next time ta-ta.
