Kathmandu pit stop

After a wild week in far away Gorkha, we returned via the same mad bus route to arrive tired and sore in Kathmandu. We did laundry in buckets of chilly well water, then took turns in the heated shower before dinner. At dinner we caught up with the DTS team and swapped stories, and sat around a newly installed wood stove in the upstairs sitting room until bedtime. It felt wonderful to be clean and relatively warm.

We are in the city today and tomorrow- a pit stop before heading to east Nepal. We don't know what it will be like there, no how long we will travel to villages in that area...probably anywhere from two weeks to a month. After that it is uncertain whether we will return to Kathmandu or not before moving on to a region south of Everest to reach villages in a target district there.

Thank you for your continued prayers as my team travels, treks, and teaches- its already been a pretty hardcore journey and we are grateful for the grace and joy we have received! Please pray for grace for the coming challenges, energy for the demanding stretches, continued love for one another, and eyes set on the Lord and His glory through it all.

Danya Baht! (Thank you:)
