Ok well I just wrote out this nice and long blog and then it disappeared! No fun! So I'll try to write it all again although I will say it probably won't be as long or wordy as the first : )
So everyone keeps complaining about how i don't update my blog...I'm sorry i don't. I guess I'm just really bad at this blog thing. But for the sake of my friends and family I will update ya'll a bit today : )
So good news the orphans are all healthy this week! Its awesome. For awhile I thought maybe there were just always sick : ) I love those kids so much! Every time I think about leaving I get so sad with the fact that I will have to say goodbye to them. So I just take each day with them as it is given to me and pour myself into those little ones.
Well the kinda big thing I've done lately is that Leah and I went trekking with a group of guys through lower Mustang. It was awesome. Nepal is a beautiful place and so I loved just being out trekking through it! We were even able to go to this one village and were able to lead a father and daughter to Christ! Praise Jesus! And in that same village there was a believing couple who one of the guys on our trip got to baptise! God is really moving and it was awesome and such a privilege to be a part of it. God really taught me some lessons while being out there. One thing I loved was the prayer aspect of things. Just being able to stand in that village or in someones house and be able to pray for them was awesome. And also with all the trekking we were doing I was able to have some amazing quite times with God in his awesome creation. Yup there definitely was a lot of prayer going on though out my time there : )
Yesterday I got to go to a temple (i forget the name of it) where they do cremation. It was crazy. Standing there and being able to just look across the river and see burning heaps and know that those are bodies they are cremating is just crazy. Walking around in there it is just an oppressive feeling of darkness. After being there like 10min. I was ready to leave but I think it is so good to be able to see and feel the darkness these people are living in. I think it is easy to forget the darkness that I'm living in here but going to this temple really makes you see and remember how blinded these people are.
Pray for them, that there eyes will be opened to the truth. God is really moving here even though at times it is hard to see. I am so privileged to be able to be here and see the things God is doing in and through these people.
