What Up in Nepal
Its a different world over here thats for sure. so when i got here Thursday i met up with the new boys here. The new boys live at the church, they were street kids that pastor Nole pick up off the street from Kathmandu. They formed a band called the new boys and i cant believe how good they are. They all have amazing ears for music. They were having a practice very soon after i got here so they threw me an electric guitar and we jammed. The first morning i woke up very early due to jet lag and took a walk outside a couple minuets outside the church i saw a goat with its head tied to a post about 5' off to the side of the road and one guy grabbed the back legs and pulled and the other raised his blade and cut its head off. It cough me a little off guard but hey "this is Nepal".
Their having a water and gas shortage here in Nepal. The lineup for gas is about 3 blocks long and showering is gonna be about once a week. The driving here is crazy so many motorcycles no traffic lights or stop signs just and your constantly missing people and cars by inches. Most people at the church eat all their food with their right hand and wipe with their left. The bathrooms at the church have squattie potties (which are pretty much holes in the ground) and urinals though their are a couple toilets at the church
I really like most of the food here I've been eating much of my meals with pastor Shem and his family and some with the new boys its pretty much always rice with curry vegetables a sometime some meat. The leaders at the church are amazing. They completely welcome me as a family member into their homes and share with me everything they have. Their was a group from Hong Kong that came and a medical team from Hawaii. The Hawaii team is going to a small village with Shem. Their going to heal and He's gonna preach. I've been meeting with people from the church for house fellowship. And i went to a arranged wedding at the church on Sunday.
OK so their is so much i could type here but i wont reveal it all to you now. But you should know pastor Shem and Pastor Razu are trying to hook me up with an arranged marriage, Crazy Stuff!
