Visiting Villages

I was up super early and went out for a walk on my own. I truly enjoyed it. I had a flash light and met some people who actually invited me to join them. But I enjoy walking on my own... and at my own pace!

I was back and everyone was up as we were to be ready by 6:30 for the van to pick us up. But this is Nepal, which meant the van didn't show up until 7:30. There was traffic.

We headed out to several villages and boy, was the driving ... AMAZING! CRAZY AMAZING! Our driver was superb! We arrived at the first village that was about three hours away and went to a house church of about 10 people. They don't have their own land to build their own church. We worshipped and I gave the sermonette. I didn't know until I got there that I'd be sharing. The Lord gave me Isaiah 55:12. They served us lunch with MEAT. So you know they were truly trying to honor us. I walked down to the next field and helped an old lady gather her rice stalks. 

We then went to the second church. This church has a building but with only 6-7 people. The building is now used for After School Care! Just above this church is a super nice church and supposedly some Chinese "Christians" came and started the church. But they are not very welcoming of people. We then drove to another church. But on the way there, there was extensive road walk, with a pile of huge rocks in the way. A bull dozer was called and the rocks were finally cleared. The third church had a group of seven ladies who have been waiting since 11am, thinking we were coming in the morning. Wow... these people are so faithful. 

We had a very fast trip back and Abby and I went to buy 5 more kilos of stuff to bring back to Taiwan. I had purchased 20kilos for my return trip. After yesterday's shopping I think I only purchased 15 kilos of goods. Plus, Abby wanted a few things to give to those who had donated for different activities during this outreach ministry to Cambodia and Thailand and Nepal. So, we went to a small local 'supermarket' and spent about another 10US$.

We came back and they had already gone up for dinner. Abby wasn't hungry but I just had to eat as I love the rice and the spinach! That's what I had. I stuffed myself. I came down and took a shower as I have not had a shower for two days. I can't believe it???

I felt so nice! I will wash my hair tomorrow as I am hoping to go for an early morning run!

I packed and blogged and Abby worked on our testimony video for 11/30. 

I will go to bed early as I have been up early every morning. 

I haven't done my pre-check in nor buy the luggage for Abby!
