The 7th of November

I was up super early... and had my time with Jesus. I didn't go for a run... in fact, I don't think I'll be running this whole time. The hills here are treacherous... I mean with the cars, taxis, busses, scooter, motorcycles and ditches... NO WAY!

It's the 7th... and God has always given me something special on the 7th of the month... as time for reflection or time to celebrate. And today was no different!

Since it was so early, I went up to the kitchen and boiled some hot water and had coffee... and finished my scone. Delightful. The air was so nice... chilly... and the moon was beautiful.

At 6am, the young man who met up with me at the airport took me on another walk around the neighborhood. We came back by 7:30 and I had a bowl of rice! Jasmine rice! With cauliflower. He then cooked potatoes with onion and tomatoes and masala and we had a huge breakfast. LOCAL STYLE of food! The boys who live here came and had breakfast as well. I then helped with tidying things up and we left at around 9:30 for the bus stop. That was a 20 minute walk away and it was the first stop, so we got seats. By the time we got off, the bus was packed! I MEAN PACKED!

I went to the slum pre-school after looking at the church that we will be going to tomorrow as church service is on Saturday morning. It's also located in the slum, but they have about 100 people! Wow! The kids were so cute... I just played with them. And then we had lunch together: rice with chicken and dal. Then more playing and to my utter surprise, ABBY SHOWED UP! I was so thrilled!

The school finished at 3pm and we hung out. Abby decided to stay for their worship practice and the pastor's wife took me back home on her scooter. No helmet and weaving through the rush hour traffic of Kathmandu! That was an experience. I was holding on so I couldn't film the experience! I don't need to fill it as it is unforgettable. 

I wasn't hungry for dinner, so I moved everything down to Abby's room and blogged. I wanted to take a hot shower, but the gal locked the room, so I still can't get in! I hung around and waited until someone came home! 

Tomorrow will be an early day... as always... Church is at 10am, but it takes about two hours to get there! After church, we hope to go shopping. Sunday is a day out at another village... I think... and Monday I'm heading back to Taipei! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??? What a fast trip!
