We are learning some practical things we can use to help folks out there...
VA - I've learned how to do Visual Acuity tests (eye tests where you try and read the letters that gradually get smaller).. So we can give out glasses. - I love having resources and skills to help people practically...Don't get me wrong I love praying that God will meet their needs in some way too but it's really satisfying to be the answer to those prayers.
We are also going to teach people how they can take care for peeps with the flu - its pretty easy for most of you's I know but people actually die because they have wrong ideas of how to treat flu...
We have been rehearsing some dramatics to convey the good news - they're not cheesy thank goodness!
Other DTS teams have just got back from their outreaches. There's lots of different types 4 times a year -so they've just arrived as we're heading off...they have some amazing stories. it's encouraging and a bit scary. I know itll be AWESOME! It's also going to be intense with a high probability of diarrhoea -at least I won't get dehydrated, not with ORS making skills.
I know NOW know where I'll be in Nepal!
4 weeks in Kathmandu which is going to be tres cool..
Then 3 weeks in either Dadeldhura, Biratnagar or Pokhara.
We will be doing healthcare jazz, working with kiddies, youths and girl sex workers, churches.
We have talked to the lady who is arranging everything for us in my second country - showed us photos and everything!
I'm excited about the orphanages and the place we are staying looks proper boss!
That's it!
With limited internet access I may not get another chance to update while I'm away (I know you're all gutted), this may be my SECOND to last update So Ta very much for reading...please, please keep praying for me:-)
Prayer requests:
>safe travelling
>We honour the people we want to help...so we don't come across like arrogant annoying foreigners
>we will be a blessing to our hosts
> (in my smaller team) I'm going to be responsible for account/book keeping -please pray I do a good job and I don't lose any money:-)
>finances for my flight back to Norn Iron
P.S
I want to say thanks to my Ma and Da for my presents...I really appreciate all the clothes and chocolate. And the family calendar, I love it! My friends think all yous are beautiful/handsome:-D
I am also tremendously grateful for proper Irish tea. With 160 tea bags to get through I HAVE been sharing and everyone has complimented the good ould Irish brew. So thanks very much.
