Hello from Nepal!

Hi everyone!  Sorry I never got to post a blog from India.  If you'd like to read what Christmas in India was like, you can check it out on my other blog, debbiejacobs.theworldrace.org.

This month I am in Nepal!  There was an earthquake here nine months ago, and we've been seeing a lot of the damage.  I just got back to the city after spending five days in a mountain village.  While I was there, I made friends with two sisters, Martha (age 13) and Sophia (age 9).  They used to live in a nice house, but it was badly damaged in the earthquake.  Now, they live with their mother, father, and little sister in a house made of tin and steel pipe.  Even though they lost a lot in the earthquake, they are still sweet, happy girls!  Martha showed me how to cook in her house.  You can check out the video by clicking on this link:

Until next time!

Love,
Miss Jacobs
