Today, Thursday, was the final day of the conference in Nepal. I taught a total of 5 or 6 sessions during the conference and enjoyed spending time with the pastors and students. Here is a photo of the attendees and visiting speakers:
The student girls are wearing their colorful school uniforms.
On Tuesday we drove by a large, barren, dusty lot that had about 15-20 “tents” made from tarps. We discovered that it was a group of refugees/gypsies from India. They have no status in India, nor Nepal. Long story short, a few of us chipped in to buy some food for them, each family getting a 10-pound bag containing rice, lentiles, and salt. Today at lunch, we took the food and distributed it. We also had candy for the children. They gladly received all we gave them, which admittedly was not much. It was pretty crazy but I am glad we did it.
It is late, and I’m tired, so I’ll post more tomorrow.
Thanks again for all the prayers!

Mom and I were moved at your compassion giving those families some provisions. Get some rest. We are praying for your safe journey home. We look forward to hearing more details.
