I've been in Nepal for almost 48 hours. It's strangely familiar yet strangely foreign. I love it! I'm still recovering from jet lag but I'm pleased to say that I slept until 0530 this morning! This was much better than my 0230 wake up yesterday. The missionaries and I have been dreaming and strategizing for the year. There is much to do and I'm overwhelmed with joy to be part of the smallest endeavor. I pray for all that is to come!
I live in a cute little basement flat with bedroom, living area, kitchen, and bath. Sadly, I have to learn to cook. Hmmm. . .this could be the most challenging part of living in Nepal. LOL! I'm thinking muesli, hard boiled eggs, and PB&J. Sigh! It's not that bad. I can adapt and overcome (don't worry mom!).
I took a short bike ride (short because it was hard!) this morning to start familiarizing myself with the area. 10 minutes to the grocery store. Easy! Traffic. . .not so easy on a bike! I was concerned about exercise before I came out. Not so much anymore. There were a couple of hills that I had to walk up with the bike. Fortunately, I wasn't the only one.
As someone very wise told me recently, this is going to be a year of great significance! In a facebook comment, a growing woman of God replied that it would also be a year of great sacrifice. May it be so.
