Soon to be a travellin' man

A cyber cafe is now up and running quite close to our guest house, which makes e-mail checking and blogging quite an easy task. Unfortunately, this cyber cafe has opened just a few days before we head out of Kathmandu for the first time. As far as I know, on Tuesday we will be heading to Pokhara, which is about six hours away. If we don't go to Pokhara, which is a possibility, then we won't be leaving this city until Saturday, when we head to Butwal, which is a hot and sticky city close to the border of India. This is good and bad news. Good news, because we get to see some of Nepal and minister in remote villages, and bad news because we are enjoying the night-time drop in temperature here in Kathmandu, the first inkling of cool weather I personally have had since January 6th.

After Butwal, we come back to Kathmandu for a very short time and then head to northern Nepal to a place called Tatopani. This is where the bungee jump will take place, if it takes place at all. We have been pretty comfortable here in Kathmandu. It is the travels where we are unsure of sleeping arrangements and food and things of that sort, but we have already seen God work in the lives of children and adults here in Nepal.

I will try to keep you posted on the happenings, but other than a couple of orphanages and a church service we haven't been able to do a lot yet. The brunt of the stories should come out of the villages and travels. Thanks for the prayer and encouragement through the comments! I should be able to get one or two mroe posts on here before we head out of the city. Thanks for reading!

Seth,

Great hearing from you. Your dad mentioned you Sunday. It is wonderful to see a man speak so passionately about his children. You can feel the connection of the heart though words spoken.

Praying for all the lives you will come in contact with, the villages, the orphanages, churchs, your travels, your food, and were you rest your precious head.

I tend to be on the anxious side, so bungee and beth don't go together :O) I am thankful you are brave & bold in your service, in your words, in the food you eat and how you approach life.

Thanks for allowing me to share in your journey :O)
Beth

Sether,
I'm all for a great bungee jump, but a herky, jerky, crick in the neck in your neck of the woods... hmmm??? That backpack might get a little uncomfortable. Be careful out there.
Love you, Lelly
