a language lesson

Oct 12, 2007 19:30

English: PUSH!
Hindi: KHELO!!
Telegu: MUKHU!!

English: boy or girl?
Hindi: babu papa?
Telegu: Batcha batchi?
Hindi/Urdu mix: Ladka ladki?

Other important words:
Normal? Ok.
Atcha (good...I'm not sure in what language).

And the universal head bobble. I will try to get a video of myself doing the head bobble.

These phrases make up my days.

The only other consistent thing about my days is prayer. The moment I see a head crown I begin to pray outloud. "Welcome, baby! Welcome! In the name of Jesus we welcome you to this place and this world. We are so glad you came and invite you to live and breathe in the name of Jesus." ...or something along those lines.

Birth is a spectacularly beautiful event.

I'm so blessed.

ps. pray for Congo...there is more sexual assualt/rape there than anywhere else in the world. :(
