For Losar, the Tibetan New Year, the Tibetans buy a new dress every year, new prayer flags, new prayer beads either for themselves or as a gift to others. These are pictures of those shops that make money on things that do not bring glory to God. (except the dress) Pray for the Tibetans this next week that they would see His light and repent.
The Tibetan Losar New Year is coming up on March 5. Everyone is preparing for the holiday. I had the privilege of helping some Tibetan women make kupsay, while sharing the Creation story and a few others with attentive listeners. A Losar tradition is to give kupsay as a gift to the Losar party you attend. It is basically a fried sweet bread. Many people make some extra cash around this time of year by making and selling kupsay.
For Izzy's birthday, we went to a new play place in Kathmandu. We had lots of fun with all of our friends here.
