Compared to Swaziland Nepal is definitely a go go go country. I’m not sure what any of us would have done if we didn’t have three months of rest. This is a month of adventure and non stop. The streets are jam packed with cars or mopeds. walking anywhere means constantly jay walking in intense traffic. Taking a taxi or public buses means putting a lot of trust in the driver and hoping everyone won’t crash into each other. Life is crowded and booming and loud here. I love it–so much more than I expected. Ministry has been wonderful. Every hour of ministry looks different—literally.
Today we went to a women’s home, a safe place where older women live. The founder is known as “Nepali Mother Teresa”. Older Nepali women are not cared for and often left out on the streets to die. She has found them and brought them into safety. I befriended a beautiful, old lady named Llama. I held her, rubbed her back, held her hands and prayed over her. She did not speak English. I do not speak Nepali. Yet we understood. We understood.
For both of these places we had to take public transportation which is surely an adventure in its own. We have sat on public buses roughly four hours just today.
Kathmandu is one big city–it seriously Kan do it all.
Who even knows what tomorrow might hold!
