singing and sickness...june 6th
i woke up this morning sick...lets just say i drank some bad water and i was torn up. after taking some medicene and a few bathroom breaks, we walked to church where i was met by hundreds of nepali Christians (many walked for over an hour to come). even though i did not understand much of what was being said or sung, i knew it was for the Lord's glory and was to praise Him. this caused an overflow of emotions in me and the tears came. as i listened to them worship, i prayed and prayed over them. for sunday school, i got the privilege to go to the young children's class where i taught them a few songs. there were about 4o children and their excitement and energy was beautiful. they are so receptive and the light shining from them makes my heart smile. comparing their sunday school with ours in america, i guess you could say they are literally 2 worlds apart. back home children have to have a craft, a snack etc. but here they do not even have any sunday school material. they read a Bible story and then they sing. if a child has a song to share, he comes to the front and sings. it is very simple, but it is wonderful...im sorry that i am not posting regularly, but the internet here is not very accessible...ill do my best...for the next week and a half i will not be able to write at all because we will be in the mountain village, but please continue to pray...great things are happening and He is completely providing...thank you for reading...love and miss you all...

Hey Jordan!!! We are glad you made it safely to India and that you got your luggage. Your blogs are great and we are so glad we can keep with all you are doing.It is wonderful to hear how God is working in your life and through you as well. Isn't it amazing that when you go on mission trips you plan to help and hopefully bless those you encounter but the blessings you recieve in return are so much more than you could ever expect. We know what a blessing you are to Abraham, his family and all of the Nepali people. We will continue to pray for each and everyday. Enjoy every minute and hurray home. Greg says hey and John Owen says he LOVES you (more than Elmo and that is a lot)and misses you a bunch. Take care and much love.

ReplyDeleteHey Jordan! You know that you can't go overseas and not get "torn up"! But i am sorry about that! I hope that you are having a wonderful time. It sounds like you are! I bet its so awesome to be with the children and see how different but how amazing they are. When you get back home we are going to have to have a sleepover at my house so that you can share all your stories. Well keep on keeping on and I am praying for you! See you soon!
