Here Lately (Cont'd)


The Tower
February 13, 2013

Today we traveled to a nearby town to visit a fellow teacher from our university. We were immersed in rich culture and history today as we ate a traditional meal (donkey and yak), walked around traditional structures built more than 300 years ago, and climbed a mountain to a seven-story tower. 

The donkey meat is to the left of the peanuts. 

Door decor over 300 years old.






The view from the top of the tower.

 Later that evening we went for a dinner similar to what we would call Fondue but instead we call it "Hot Pot". We had yak meat from Tibet.


Contract Signing Day
February 12, 2013 

Reality sunk in a bit more as Becky signed her contract with the University this morning. We were praising Father for bringing us to this point. We are actively stepping in obedience. (video to come soon)

This evening, a friend Becky met 5 years ago invited us to her home for dinner with her family. By far the best meal we have eaten so far. There’s nothing quite like eating fish with the skin still attached, chicken with its head fully cooked and eye staring at you, stir-fry veggies, and a bunch of other dishes safer eaten when you don’t know what’s in it. We were surprised at how well we enjoyed this meal!

New relationships were formed tonight and we look forward to meeting with them more.




We have been blessed by these dinners with friends. Father has provided for us time after time to meet our needs of nourishment and friendship.
