Revenue office, but way crazier

I've heard sermons preached on the topics of patience and perseverance. One thing that I've heard is "Be careful when asking for patience because usually that means that the Father is going to put you in a situation that is going to test your patience." Guess what... We didn't even ask for it, but we got it!
Since our return to the city, we've had to register with the government. This registration office is a lot like the Revenue office except picture less structure and more people. Crazy!!! To register it requires that you travel to the main office within the first 14 days of being in country, give copies of every important document that you've ever owned, and promise to let the government know anytime you plan to move or leave. (Makes me a little nervous, but "you gotta do what you gotta do" right?)

We first went on Monday. After hours of lines and hundreds of people, we were told that we needed our lease to be notarized and different information regarding our school admissions. We were able to get the notary done on Monday. Paid way too much for it, but we got it!
Tuesday we spent the day tracking down the school administrator (who happens to live next door, literally!) and getting the correct paper work. It needed to be addressed as a "bona fide" letter. Check. Check.
Today we went back to the registration office. After sitting for a 3 more hours, we finally got registered.  Woohoo. What's funny is we saw some of the same people from Monday there today. Guess we weren't the only ones that had to get different documents.
We had to celebrate our trial of patience and perseverance with our favorite dish, MoMo's!!

This Nepali man cooks up incredible momos just right around the corner from our house. We've enjoyed building a friendship with him. I think he even missed us while we were gone to the States. I know we missed him!

Here's a pic of momos. I found it online. Our momos look just like that, just served in random bags instead of nice china plates. (Last nights momos were served in a denture cleaner bag!)

And, just had to wish our little nephew, Carson Jack, a  Happy Half Birthday today!!!
Auntie Ams and ChaCha love you so much.
