I too cried and struggled SO much when I first began learning French (I know probably an easier language to learn) but still when you're stuck in France for a year and have to use it daily in everything you do it can be incredibly frustrating - BUT don't worry you'll get to that point where you'll start recognizing words, you brain will be begin to memorize small phrases, then you'll start to form short sentences and people will understand you and won't look at you like you're crazy anymore and finally you'll be proficient enough to have small conversations that will seriously make you feel like you. are. wonder. woman. ;) Oh and prayer helps too as you said! I'll keep you in mine - have faith Katie - I promise you are more than capable and that God never gives you more than you can handle. :) xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719781525625100445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-58234966794073384592013-04-19T18:00:58.835-07:002013-04-19T18:00:58.835-07:00Language learning is SO humbling!!

I knew from Davis that you love Jesus and are super funny and honest, but I didn't know you were also a bomb photographer and talented writer!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!<br /><br />If it makes you feel any better... I've cried in language class, too. We're in East Asia for the next handful of years, and I cried just last week! On STINT, my Hebrew teacher reacted to my crying by feeding me vodka and chocolate, which she had with her, ready to dispense! Haha! So I think (hope?) it's a normal thing.<br /><br />-Sam Mockford (formerly Li)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941197353597674398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-10148314713656195972013-04-16T17:47:40.297-07:002013-04-16T17:47:40.297-07:00love reading about your adventures in nepal!love reading about your adventures in nepal!Megan Klacknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595923099910748290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-65434187690230721762013-04-15T09:43:31.981-07:002013-04-15T09:43:31.981-07:00Wow, I can't wait to keep reading about your a...Wow, I can't wait to keep reading about your adventures.

It's so amazing that you are doing this!<br /><br />I really appreciate what you wrote about praying specifically and boldly. That is something my heart needed to hear, as I am struggling with some things of my own. It's also really REALLY interesting that you wrote about loneliness -- I JUST finished a post about that about an hour ago. <a href="http://www.graceforgayle.com/2013/04/the-things-i-dont-know.html" rel="nofollow">(here)</a><br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Katie!

Definitely had to get used to that. It definitely made and makes for some crazy adventures!! It sounds like your time thus far has been amazing. I'm praying for you& for the language barrier. Keep your chin-up! You are doing an amazing call given by God. Proud to call you friend!

And you're not even in my country. I just have to remind myself that I only have to wait a few more months and I'll be home again. And Nepali is a crazy hard language. There are a ton of migrant workers from Nepal where I used to live and our church had a large ministry working with them, but I never learned any Nepali so it was just a lot of smiling and waving when I would see them at church or around town!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-88643606160345039232013-04-10T15:04:38.554-07:002013-04-10T15:04:38.554-07:00EEK!

I would have found a place to hide thinking someone was about to rob me! *shudder* but Im SO glad there was laughing going on :)<br /><br />That grocery store sounds super legit! There is one here that is definitely more expensive than the others, and that's where we can find lots of imported foods...we MIGHT go there and splurge now and then :)<br /><br />I LOVE eating by candlelight! I dont know about all the time though? <br /><br />Oh my goodness you're adorable even after you've been crying! I STILL avoid some conversations when I'm not feeling super confident. I'm not going to lie...I've definitely acted like I was on my phone a few times to keep from being talked to. I don't know what happens. I love people but sometimes my nerves go nuts when I can't think of the right thing to say. I've been trying to get better though :)<br /><br />Lovely update!
