* I think Mark did a great job on writing up the village stay but I thought I would add a few random observations I thought were interesting.
The measure of sight in the village:
You can see the small stones in the rice
You can thread a needle
You can spot headlice and catch it!!!!
* The Nepalis always asked us our age and then were most surprised when they realised that Mark was younger than I was. That isn't done here so I asked a group of five ladies how much older their husbands were to them - 12, 10 and 8 years!!! In that case we are the same age!!!
* Mark always calls me his sacraficial annode as when I am around he doesn't get bitten by mosquitos. Well, the village was glad to have us - they never got bitten and we were eaten alive - in fact we would be sitting in a circle and they would be all around us and there would be none around them. The Nepalis thought it was a great joke that white skinned people's blood was more tasty!!!
It is good to see a brother and sister in the field. I intend to be in the area for the month of September and would love to study Oswald. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteWe're not sure what Oswald is but September is a nice time of the year to come out.
ReplyDeleteI have loved finding your blog. I have not been to Nepal previously, but have spent many summers serving the people in the country to the north. This summer, after being in the country to the north, I have been led to Nepal. I have the same passion as your family. Oswald Chambers' wife captured a great book of materials on the Father; My Utmost for His Highest. I look forward to my time in the Swoyambhu Temple area, serving the people of Nepal by assisting in the area of conversational english. Love to you and to your family.
