Hi everyone!
It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted, so here’s a small update on what has been going on over here in Nepal.
I Moved!
I’m now living in a different guest house! A room just opened up in the official KISC guest house, so this weekend I packed up all my things and moved just around the corner. I’m really excited about my new place. There are a lot more KISC teachers who live here, so it’s a much greater sense of community. It’s a much brighter and more cheerful building and I have a beautiful view out of my bedroom window. Once I’m all unpacked I’ll be sure to take some pictures so you can see it! There are several things I’ll miss about my old guest house, especially Kashmira, the Nepali girl that lives there who I could always practice my language with... but overall this move is a HUGE reason for joy.

Visiting the Royal Palace
Last weekend some friends and I went to the Royal Palace. I still don’t know that much about the history of Nepal, but seeing the palace was a great visual way to get a better grasp on things. The government is really still getting settled at the moment. There is no king in Nepal, but this was a fairly recent development, so it is as if it’s history isn’t something from long ago but rather something that is still being worked out even today. There was also a tragic massacre of the royal family in 2001 and seeing the site of this event was really eye-opening.

OBEDIENCE
This is THE WORD to sum up the group that I’ve been meeting with for the past couple of weeks. The simplest way of labeling it would be with the title “Bible Study,” but the focus is more on obeying the Word of God rather than gathering knowledge about it. This group has been such a blessing to me the past couple weeks and has really been stretching me, challenging me, and growing me. It is so common for us to know what Christ commands, but if you think about it, how many of us actually OBEY these commands. My lack of true obedience has really been made clear to me and I’m excited to see how God is going to use this group not only in my life, but in NEPAL as a whole. That was the summary of this group in a very tiny nutshell. Perhaps I’ll develop this more in a future post. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, if there is any way I can pray for you don't hesitate to let me know! Or if you simply want to say hello... that's always nice too :)
