Easter Party Cornhole tournament

Cornhole was a new game for many of the Nepali/Tibetan guests that were at the Easter party, but they really enjoyed it. It was a great icebreaker for getting to know our guests.

Easter Outreach Party

We hosted an Easter Outreach Party. After a feast, Bo shared the gospel truth to the lost and then we played egg games with the kids and had a cornhole tournament. This was a great time to share with our new friends about the Resurrection Day.

Tibetan Wedding

We were invited to a Tibetan wedding of our Tibetan language teacher. The katas, blessing scarves, you see are a tradition. Summer did not know that girls give them to the bride and that men give them to the groom and she gave hers to the groom. Oops. The weird thing about this wedding is that there was no ceremony announcing the two have been joined in marriage. We think this is because to them marriage is not ordained by God. It is something you do for dowry, property, security, etc. Sophia enjoyed wearing the Tibetan dress, a chuba, because she said she was a Tibetan princess.

Daily life in Nepal

The views of the Himalayas are spectacular this time of year.

In Nepal, it would be nice if the vegetables were labeled and clean, but daily life in Nepal does not allow for that. The vegetables are sold on the street and are very, very dirty. Sometimes I don't even know what they are and don't even know how to ask what I am looking for, so I guess. I can't tell you how many times I have bought zucchini thinking it was cucumber or vice versa. The fruit as well is sold the same way. We usually buy from the same shop owner so we get a friendly smile when we walk up. The worst part is digging through the sack of potatoes or tomatoes because your hands are filthy afterwards.

Isabella fits right in

It brings me joy when I see Isabella fitting right in to the culture and life in Nepal. I thank God for her and the blessing she is to us.
