my amazing lil room..

So this is my awesome little room on the roof of the orphanage. I love the fact that it has a tin roof so I've had many a night falling to sleep to the sound of rain on my tin roof : ) Another great fact of the room is the new bed, when I got there they had a "smaller" bed but then wanted to put this other bed in my room, I can't really tell them no. So they put this bed in that takes up way more room then the first one and if i lay completly flat my head touching the headbord and my feet the footboard.haha But it is a nice bed (i just hope the next guy to come stay isn't very tall.hehe). And Nepal is awesome enough to grace me with some room mates, there is Tony the crickett and Piper the lizard who I've come to know and love. If you look closely at the bottom picture you will notice the brooms proped aganist my dresser. And yes I have become quite good at sweeping out my carpeted room. Oh and it isn't in the pictures but I do have a fan! It is a life saver! It gets so hot up in my room! Although it is kinda a dying fan and takes like 4 or so min to actully start from the time you turn it on and sometimes decides it needs a break and will randomly turn off and then a while later back on. But yes I love my room and will miss it when I get home.



p.s. those creepy bears hanging on the wall are NOT mine. I really wish I could just take them down so I didn't have to stare at them all the time but alas I guess those decorations just come with the room : )

a few pictures from life here...

Wednesday afternoons Jenn teaches a women's bible study. It has been such a joy to be a part of and I have grown to love these ladies so much! they are such a joy to be around.

One of the ladies from the Church and her husband have an awesome painting store. Her husband is an amazing painter and she does some wax pictures also.
Sunday evenings is fellowship with some of the other single missionaries. So this past Sunday it was at Leah's so we made the most amazing 'xtra special celebration cake' for no good reason what-so-ever except that we wanted to say we have made an xtra special celebration cake. And it was quite tasty i might add : )

15 days and counting till i get on a plane headed for America...

Parker.
well here is your shoutout.
i'm glad you think i'm the coolest girl on the asian continent.
the end.

His love is strong.

16 days.
I can't believe my time is coming to a close here. It feels like forever ago that I said goodbye to my family and friends and went to PA for training. God has taught me so many lessons and got me through so many things. I know coming home is going to be a hard adjustment but I know for a fact that God will be there for me and I will get to learn yet another lesson. He has been faithful through this whole trip and I know this is a trip that I got to share with Him and no one will ever be able to fully understand everything we went through together.
Last night was fellowship and there were only 5 of us there singing worship songs, usely I'm a somewhat timed singer but I just closed my eyes just gave it all to God and sang to Him, sang boldly to the love of my life and I felt so content, so loved, I could have sang forever. I love that when I think I couldn't be loved more He finds a way to show me His love just that much deeper.
It will be weird adjusting back to life in the USA. Nepal is so slow paced and simple. One thing I hope I can accomplish when i get home...even if people don't understand what I've been through...I hope somehow I can show them this burden God has given me for this mountain kingdom and more people will pray. Pray for the people of Nepal.

here are some verses that have been an encourment to me over the past months here:

"Let God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us.
that Your way may be known on earth,
Your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, Oh God;
let all the peoples praise you!:
Psalm 67:1-3

"Cast your burden on the Lord,
and He will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved."
Psalm 55:22

"Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that He powerfully works within me."
Colossians 1:28-29
