Greetings friends and family:) I am back in Washington and it all happened in a whirlwind. Unfortunately there were problems with my visa. One can only stay in Nepal on a tourist visa for 5 months in a calendar year and my 5 months were up. However..the company that the family worked for was trying to get me an official visa so I wouldn't have to leave Nepal. They started this process as soon as I got to Nepal but Immigration wasn't ready to give me the visa. I trust that the Lord had this in his hands even though I was very sad to leave. I got to experience Nepal in a way I will never forget....Please pray with me about this season of my life as I am also seeking God's direction in the next step I should take. I am ready to go back overseas!
