Five weeks and counting...

I have been back in the states now for five weeks. It has been good to be back, see friends and eat great food! I have been lonely, missing the life and energy of life in Nepal. Upon returning, I set upon the task of securing transportation, housing and employment. So far I have only knocked one of the three out, but the easiest one! I purchased a 98 Honda Accord a couple weeks ago. This makes getting around MUCH MUCH easier! The car has been great, and should last me quite a while. I was really hoping to jump right into work as well. Avnet, the company that I worked at before is a great place and I was hoping to work with them again. Thus far I haven't been hired, but had an interview on Tuesday. Many of you have asked me about my plans and time in the US. I AM planning on staying in the states for a while, a year or two. I will be working a full-time job, and also furthering relationships with Nepalis in the area. I have also been introduced to the Bhutanese Refugee community in Colorado. Many Bhutanese refugees are being resettled in CO from refugee camps in Nepal. This is a great opportunity to meet them and help them and care for these people who have just come to the states from very depressed living situations in Nepal. So, ministry continues, even here! I have had opportunity to speak Nepali and that has been so great. I don't want to lose any of the language that I worked so hard to get! Your prayers for my job and finances are greatly appreciated. Also for good housing. I would like to room with some other people, but can't commit now without money, and don't know many people looking for room mates. Thanks all for your support, it truly is a blessing to me! Feel free to call or email me!
