We got back from the village this evening. It was a great trip…but long. We are both exhausted.
We took a car this year which is
a very touristy way to travel ins
tead of the Nepali way. While
it was more comfortable I’m not sure it was any safer. Layne just thought crossing the street was a death trap…try driving on the side of a mountain on a single lane road passing oncoming cars on both sides of the road. Needless to say Nepali driving is an experience all its own.
We visited the NCH Dhading. They had moved to a flat but the conditions weren’t much better. Many of the children are sick with rashes. They were excited, but shy t
o see us and appreciative of the small gifts we took. It is hard to communicate with them because they speak no English. However,
it is a blessing for us to go and encourage them with the Lama’s as they care for God’s children and take care of their church. We met another pastor and attended his church this morning. Rinzi gave the sermon…even though we didn’t understand a word it is a cool experience to worship with
them.
Our guesthouse was actually very
nice (compare
d to previous experiences). We
were excited to find a “western” t
oilet and hot water shower (even though we preferred a cold shower it was nice to have the option) and a ceiling fan that worked. It was a blessing we were not expecting. We have had our fair share of eggs…please don’t make us boiled or fried eggs for a coming home dinner. Sweet Tea, Chick-fil-A or BEEF would all be great options. Apparently if you don’t have a big belly they think you are still hungry. They tell us every meal we are hungry and put more on our plate. Here are some pics from our last two days.
